He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. John. 6. 50, 51

1 The tender mercies of the Lord
  On those that fear his name,
  For every thankful tongue afford
  An everlasting theme.

2 [He pities all that feel his fear,
  When wounded, pained or weak;
  As tender mothers grieve to hear
  Their infants moan when sick.]

3 He to the needy and the faint
  His mighty aid makes known;
  And, when their languid life is spent,
  Supplies it with his own.

4 The body in his bounty shares,
  Sustained with corn and wine;
  But for the soul himself prepares
  A banquet more divine.

5 By faith received, his flesh and blood
  Shall life eternal give;
  For he that eats immortal food,
  Immortally must live.
