Текст песни: O Bread of Heaven + перевод

O bread of heaven, beneath this veil

thou dost my very God conceal;

my Jesus, dearest treasure, hail;

I love thee and adoring kneel;

each loving soul by thee is fed

with thine own self in form of bread. O food of life, thou who dost give

the pledge of immortality;

I live; no, ‘tis not I that live;

God gives me life, God lives in me:

he feeds my soul, he guides my ways,

and every grief with joy repays. O bond of love, that dost unite

the servant to his living Lord;

could I dare live, and not requite

such love then death were meet reward:

I cannot live unless to prove

some love for such unmeasured love.

Belovèd Lord in heaven above,

there, Jesus, thou awaitest me;

to gaze on thee with changeless love,

yes, thus I hope, thus shall it be:

for how can he deny me heaven

who here on earth himself hath given?
