Tune: Alleluia, Dulce Carmen
(\'Lord. dismiss us with thy blessing\'
= \'For the healing of the nations\')
John 6 v.47-51
********
Truly, truly, Jesus does say
Speaks unto us in this day
Who believes on Him, they life have
E\'erlasting, He comes to save
He is the bread of life, he feeds
Us and attends to our needs
They of olden days manna ate
But none alive as of yet
Jesus is the bread which comes down
From heaven to each place, town
That we may eat of it, not die
Spiritual food, He be nigh
If anyone eats of this bread
They shall have life from the dead
Shall live for ever, the bread be
Jesus\' flesh, His life, here see
He gives Himself for life of world* (*all people)
God\'s plan through Him is unfurled
This we recall in Communion
When we so partake, each one
Bread the symbol of His body
Wine symbol of His blood be
Crucified for our sins, risen
He the Saviour of all men* (*mankind)
