Food And Drink

Tune: Corpus Christi

('Jesus, in thy dear sacrament')

John Chapter 6 parts

*******

O bread of heaven, come us feed

You daily do we need

Physically and spiritually

So we satisfied be

 

We find in you that you supply

Our food and drink, you nigh

Your promise that who comes to you

Shall ne'er hunger, 'tis true

 

And who believes on you shall ne'er

Thirst, shall refreshment share

Enough for all, no scarcity

Ample resources be

 

So may we feed and drink from you

You shall our lives renew

Jesus, the bread of life you be

Now and eternally

        We must be sustained, food and drink of the spiritual kind is also necessary. Good write Orchi!

              You got chocolate again? Did ya give it up for Lent?! I gave up plain chocolate decades ago. Yuk!

              • Bella Shepard

                Now chocolate, the vice that keeps on giving. Dark chocolate is of course acceptable during Lent as it has healthy properties. Sounds convincing, yes?

                • orchidee

                  Yes, but not very dark chocolate for me. Black Magic chocs - yuk! Apart from any 'magic' connotations.
