LORD, Thou hast giv'n to us
* 1.1The True and Living Bread,
Thy Body as upon the Cross,
The painful Cross, it bled.

* 1.2Thy Blood's a precious Wine,
The Heart of God it chears;
* 1.3With Heav'nly Sweets, and Joys Divine,
* 1.4It calms our guilty Fears.

A Living Spring thy Side,
* 1.5Thy pierc'd Side did impart,
* 1.6Through which a vital Juice did slide
Down from thy melting Heart.

* 1.7This Crimson Stream, with those
Thy Hands and Feet did yield,
* 1.8A Bath for Sinners does compose,
In which they 're cleans'd and heal'd.

Such Blessings, LORD, in Thee,
If at thy Cross we meet.* 1.9
What Joys will in thy Kingdom be,
O how Divinely sweet▪

When Thou with Glory crown'd,* 1.10
Thy Saints on Thrones wilt place,
And satiate all thy Guests around
With th' Vision of thy Face.* 1.11

From that blest Paradise* 1.12
None e're shall be exil'd;
None by a Serpent's tempting Voice,
Of Joy and Life beguil'd.

The Tree of Life shall chase* 1.13
Death thence, and all its Fears.
Rivers of Pleasure there have place,
And there are none of Tears.* 1.14
