Again, dear Lord, we would be fed

Verse 1

Again, dear Lord, we would be fed; We come to seek for living bread, And feast on love divine; Dear Father, let thy presence be Enjoyed by all thy family, And make each face to shine.

Verse 2

In thee all blessings richly meet; Come, then, and give our souls a treat, And let us feast indeed; O let us banquet with the King, And love, and pray, and praise, and sing, As sons from bondage freed.

Verse 3

May faith be strong, and pierce the skies, And we with pleasure realise The glory now prepared; Commune with Jesus as our Friend; Upon him live; his love commend; And carnal things discard.

Verse 4

If this be granted, we’ll adore The hand that gives, yet keeps in store A boundless stock of grace; In every time of need we’ll cry, And thou shalt all our needs supply, And that with smiling face.
