Lyrics:

You satisfy the hungry heart
with gift of finest wheat,
come give to us o saving Lord,
the bread of life to eat.

1 As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
they know and heed his voice;
so when You call your family Lord,
we follow and rejoice. (refrain) 

2 With joyful lips we sing to You,
our praise and gratitude,
that You should count us worthy Lord,
to share this heavenly food. (refrain) 

3 Is not the cup we bless and share
the blood of Christ out-poured?
Do not one cup, one load declare
our oneness in the Lord? (refrain)
