Lord Jesus Christ Thou Living Bread

Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Living Bread,
May I For Mine Possess Thee.
I Would With Heavenly Food Be Fed;
Descend, Refresh, And Bless Me.
Now Make Me Meet For Thee, O Lord;
Now, Humbly By My Heart Implored,
Grant Me Thy Grace And Mercy.

Thou Me To Pastures Green Dost Guide,
To Quiet Waters Lead Me;
Thy Table Thou Dost Well Provide
And From Thy Hand Dost Feed Me.
Sin, Weakness, And Infirmity
Am I; O Saviour, Give To Me
The Cup Of Thy Salvation.

O Bread Of Heaven, My Soul’s Delight,
For Full And Free Remission
With Prayer I Come Before Thy Sight,
In Sorrow And Contrition.
With Faith Adorn My Soul That I
May To Thy Table Now Draw Nigh
With Thine Own Preparation.

I Merit Not Thy Favour, Lord,
Sin Now Upon Me Lieth;
Beneath My Burden, Self-Abhorred,
To Thee My Spirit Crieth.
In All My Grief This Comforts Me,
That Thou On Sinners Graciously,
Lord Jesus, Hast Compassion.
