O Food to Pilgrims Given

Thomas Aquinas • Athelstan Riley (1906) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 17:15

Verse 1

O food to pilgrims given, O bread of life from heaven, O manna from on high! We hunger; Lord, supply us, nor thy delights deny us, whose hearts to thee draw nigh.

Verse 2

O stream of love past telling, O purest fountain, welling from out the Saviour's side! We faint with thirst; revive us, of thine abundance give us, and all we need provide.

Verse 3

O Jesus, by thee bidden, we here adore thee, hidden in forms of bread and wine. Grant, when the veil is riven, we may behold, in heaven, thy countenance divine.
