Tune: Lancashire
('The day of resurrection')
John 6 v.26-36 parts
*********
Labour not for food physical
So much as spiritual
Food, which endures for ever
in short supply never
It to e'erlasting life endures
From boundless treasure-stores
Christ, Son of man shall give to you
The living bread and true
For God th Father has Christ sealed
In His purpose has willed
That Christ be the bread of heaven
To satisfy us then
He the one came from above
To us here in His love
He gives life to all the world
His plan to all unfurled
He is the bread of life, and who
Do come to Him anew
Shall never hunger, never thirst
They e blessed and not cursed
All who do on Him believe
Forgiveness shall receive
If turning from sins, penitent
Life to the repentant
Come to us Lord, give us this bread
And be our living Head
Help us put you first, the food
You give us, it be good
And so sustained, by grace growing
Thankful for everything
Which you provide, each day fed
By you, the living bread
