1 Bread of heaven, on thee we feed,
for thou art our food indeed.
Ever may our souls be fed
with this true and living Bread,
day by day with strength supplied
through the life of Christ who died.

2 Vine of heaven, thy love supplies
this blest cup of sacrifice.
'Tis thy wounds our healing give;
to thy cross we look and live.
Thou our life! O let us be
rooted, grafted, built on thee.

Text Information:

Both the names used to address Christ in this eucharistic hymn appear only in the Fourth Gospel. Jesus refers to himself as the Bread of Heaven in John 6:51 and as the True Vine in John 15:1. The text is set to a tune with diverse roots, Welsh and French, sacred and secular.
