Praying for Living Bread. Ps. 28. 9

1 Again, dear Lord, we would be fed;
  We come to seek for living bread,
  And feast on love divine;
  Dear Father, let thy presence be
  Enjoyed by all thy family,
  And make each face to shine.

2 In thee all blessings richly meet;
  Come, then, and give our souls a treat,
  And let us feast indeed;
  O let us banquet with the King,
  And love, and pray, and praise, and sing,
  As sons from bondage freed.

3 May faith be strong, and pierce the skies,
  And we with pleasure realise
  The glory now prepared;
  Commune with Jesus as our Friend;
  Upon him live; his love commend;
  And carnal things discard.

4 If this be granted, we’ll adore
  The hand that gives, yet keeps in store
  A boundless stock of grace;
  In every time of need we’ll cry,
  And thou shalt all our needs supply,
  And that with smiling face.
