1.
Author of life divine,
we see your table spread with drink -
the mystic wine, and food -- the eternal bread.  
Preserve the life that you have giv'n
that we may eat with you in heav'n.

2.
Our hungry souls sustain
with fresh supplies of love,
till all your life we gain and all your strength we prove,
till we receive your perfect grace
and rise to see you face to face.
