English poem
HYMN XCVIII. Meat and drink indeed
by Anonymous
TO-day Immanuel feeds his Sheep, The purchase of his Blood: To-day Jehovah keeps a Feast, For all the Sons of God.
The bread of God is freely giv'n, The Food of Saints above; That living Bread sent down from Heav'n, The Fruit of pard'ning Love.
Lo! Christ our Shepherd, gave his Life To answer all our need; His Body crucify'd is Meat, His Blood is Drink indeed.
Ye hungry, thirsty Souls draw near, And living Bread receive; Taste the Provision of your God, And freely eat, and live.
