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.
7 Bread is a portion for the poor, O let us haste away; But see you come to the right door, There may ye feed each day.
8 But what is common Bread to this, Which soon does putrefy? Oh feed on this, none like it is, Eat and ye shall not die.
8 But what is common Bread to this, Which soon does putrifie? Oh feed on this, none like it is, Eat and ye shall not die.
9 All praise to God, and Christ the Lord, Who Bread to us do give: O sing his praise, Saints, all your days, Eat, and your souls shall live.
