HYMN 200. Bread indeed.
1 How good, O Lord, is thy blest Word To all that are sincere! Because it doth such good afford, Thy Children love it dear.
1 HOw good, O Lord, is thy blest Word To all that are sincere! Because it doth such good afford, Thy Children love it dear.
2 O let us taste of thy sweet Love, And in thy self delight; And feed us also from above Every day and night.
3 That with the fat things of thy House We all may feasted be; And flourish in thy glorious Courts, Dear God, continually.
4 Many do seem to be content, Whilst they on Husks do feed; But let our Souls to Christ be bent, And stored with all we need.
