Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Author of life divine,
- Who hast a table spread,
- Furnished with mystic wine
- And everlasting bread,
- Preserve the life Thyself hast given,
- And feed and train us up for Heav’n.
- 2.
- Our needy souls sustain
- With fresh supplies of love,
- Till all Thy life we gain,
- And all Thy fullness prove,
- And, strengthened by Thy perfect grace,
- Behold without a veil Thy face.
Lyrics: John Wesley, 1746.
