3 We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head,
And thirst, our souls from Thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away;
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Bernard of Clairvaux 1150 Tr. by Ray Palmer 1858

WE come unto our fathers' God:
Their rock is our salvation:

Th' eternal arms, their dear abode,
We make our habitation:

We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought;
We seek Thee as Thy saints have sought
In every generation.

2 The cleaving sins that brought them low
Are still our souls oppressing;
The tears that from their eyes did flow
Fall fast, our shame confessing;
As with Thee, Lord, prevailed their cry
So our strong prayer ascends on high,
And bringeth down Thy blessing.

3 Their joy unto their Lord we bring;
Their song to us descendeth:
The Spirit who in them did sing

To us His music lendeth.
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on-
The song that never endeth!

4 Ye saints to come, take up the strainThe same sweet theme endeavor! Unbroken be the golden chain!

Keep on the song for ever!

Safe in the same dear dwelling-place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.

Thomas Hornblower Gill 1869
