Bread of the World
Bread of the world in mercy broken
Wine of the soul in mercy she
By whom the words of life were spoken
And in whose death our sins are dead
Look on the hearts by sorrow broken
Look on the tears by sinners shed
So may your feast become the token
That by your grace our souls are fed
Fullness of God in flesh descended
Hope of the world, Emmanuel
Who, as a man, was tried and tempted
Who knows our every weakness well
Look on the souls by grief afflicted
Look on those trusting sin's dark spell
In you may our escape be granted
To quench our thirst at mercy's well
Radiant Lamb who reigns victorious
Marvelous King enthroned in light
Who conquered sin and death and darkness
Whose humbleness displayed his might
Look on the fields now white for harvest
Look on your long expectant bride
Oh, may your kingdom come among us
And bring us rest on every side
Wine of the soul in mercy she
By whom the words of life were spoken
And in whose death our sins are dead
Look on the hearts by sorrow broken
Look on the tears by sinners shed
So may your feast become the token
That by your grace our souls are fed
Fullness of God in flesh descended
Hope of the world, Emmanuel
Who, as a man, was tried and tempted
Who knows our every weakness well
Look on the souls by grief afflicted
Look on those trusting sin's dark spell
In you may our escape be granted
To quench our thirst at mercy's well
Radiant Lamb who reigns victorious
Marvelous King enthroned in light
Who conquered sin and death and darkness
Whose humbleness displayed his might
Look on the fields now white for harvest
Look on your long expectant bride
Oh, may your kingdom come among us
And bring us rest on every side
