Bread of angels from the skies,
Made the food of mortal man:
Children’s meat, to dogs denied:
In old types foresignified:
In the manna heav’n-supplied,
Isaac and the paschal Lamb.
Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep!
You, your flock in safety keep.
Living Bread! Your life supply;
Strengthen us, or else we die;
Fill us with celestial grace:
You, who feed us here below!
Source of all we have or know!
Grant that with your saints above,
Sitting at the feast of love,
We may see you face to face. Amen.
