Text:Bread of the world, in mercy broken
Author:Bishop Reginald Heber

331. Bread of the world, in mercy broken

1 Bread of the world, in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul, in mercy shed,
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose death our sins are dead;

2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be Thy feast to us the token
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.

Amen.
