1 Bread pleasant is unto the taste, To souls who hungry be, This property also thou hast, O it it is found in thee.
2 What can taste sweeter than thy love? O come poor souls and try; That Bread which came down from above Is set before your eye.
3 By Faith you must this Bread behold, And you by Faith must eat; Without true Faith you have been told It is (alas) dry Meat.
4 Bread does renew the strength of Men Who ready are to faint; O then on Christ let's feed again, Eat Bread poor drooping Saint.
4 Bread does renew the strength of Men Who ready are to faint; O then on Christ let's feed agen, Eat Bread poor drooping Saint.
