10028. Fountain Of All The Good We See

1 Fountain of all the good we see
Streaming from Heav’n above,
Savior! our faith we act on Thee,
And exercise our love.

2 ’Tis not the outward food we eat
Doth this new strength afford,
’Tis Thou, whose presence makes it meat,
Thou the life-giving Word.

3 Man doth not live by bread alone,
Whate’er Thou wilt can feed;
Thy power converts the bread to stone,
And turns the stone to bread.

4 Thou art our food: we taste Thee now,
In Thee we move and breathe,
Our bodies’ only life art Thou,
And all besides is death!
