Great God, we now surround thy board,
To banquet and to feed;
Thy flesh and blood, dear dying Lord,
Is meat and drink, indeed!
Thy sacred flesh and saving blood,
Do every type exceed:
And we can say this heavenly food
Is meat and drink indeed!
The Paschal supper served to show
How Jacob's tribes were freed:
And in a figure pointed to
This meat and drink indeed!
The manna and the cheering stream,
For Israel's daily need,
Did in the wilderness proclaim
This meat and drink indeed!
This is the Lord's appointed feast,
Enjoined on all his seed ;
His flesh and blood, O happy guest,
Is meat and drink indeed!
These sacred signs assist our sense;
But faith on Christ can feed;
He is the bread of excellence,
And meat and drink indeed!
