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.
5 On Christ rely, don't look within, On Jesus do depend; 'Tis he has made an end of sin, To him God does thee send.
6 Bread is the best of earthly things, A morsel is worth Gold; From Christ all blessings to us spring, His worth none can unfold.
