He gave Himself; now He provides Himself.

Christ is the substance of all that nourishes

Those who are His and whom He cherishes;

He is the Manna which graciously descends,

Fine, granular, upon the wilderness

Sustaining where conditions are adverse.

The Old Corn of the Land is nourishment

Within the realm where He Himself has led

Outwith the power and influence of death.

For all His own He is the living Bread:

Souls only who have fed upon His flesh

And drunk His blood have life within themselves.
