Hymn 508

Saviour of all, to Thee we bow

Meter: L.M.

Scripture: John 6:53

1

Saviour of all, to Thee we bow,

And own Thee faithful to Thy word;

We hear Thy voice, and open now

Our hearts to entertain our Lord.

2

Come in, come in, Thou heav’nly Guest,

Delight in what Thyself hast given:

On Thy own gifts and grace feast,

And make the contrite heart Thy heaven.

3

Smell the sweet odour of our pray'rs

Our sacrifice of praise approve,

And treasure up our gracious tears

And rest in Thy redeeming love.

4

Beneath Thy shadow let us sit,

Call us Thy friends, and love, and bride,

And bid us freely drink and eat

Thy dainties, and be satisfied.

5

O let us on Thy fullness feed,

And eat Thy flesh, and drink Thy blood!

Jesus, Thy blood is drink indeed:

Jesus, Thy flesh is angels food.

6

The heav’nly manna faith imparts

Faith makes Thy fullness all our own;

We feed upon Thee in our hearts,

And find that heav’n and Thou are one.
