Joh. 6.50. I am the Bread of Life.
1 Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, Bread is a Blessed thing; Some Bread to us do thou afford, Shall we lye here starving,
1 THou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, Bread is a Blessed thing; Some Bread to us do thou afford, Shall we lye here starving,
2 When in our Father's House there's store, And we have nought to eat? Remember us, think on the poor, A little broken Meat!
3 Ah! some small Crumbs, Lord, let us have, Which from thy Table fall; A bit of Bread we humbly crave, Or we shall perish all.
