Show Bread

George Richards • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 25:30

Verse 1

How rich the types of future grace, Which thro' the law are spread! Aloud they preach th'eternal Son, The true, the living bread.

Verse 2

From day to day till Jesus came, His mystick form was shown; Where all distinctions lost to view, Of many made but one.

Verse 3

In him, nor Jew nor Gentile's found, Christ's body forms one bread. And all the diff'rent grains of wheat Are one, in Christ the head.
