1
Father of heaven, almighty King,
How wondrous is thy love,
That worms of dust thy praise should sing,
And thou their songs approve!
2
Since by a new and living Way
Access to thee is given,
Poor sinners may with boldness pray,
And earth converse with heaven.
3
Give each some token, Lord, for good,
And send the Spirit down,
To feed us with celestial food,
The body of thy Son.
4
The feast thou hast been pleased to make
We would by faith receive,
That all that come their part may take,
And all that take may live.
5
Let every tongue the Father own,
Who, when we all were lost,
To seek and save us sent the Son,
And gives the Holy Ghost.
