Text:O thou, who this mysterious bread

519. O thou, who this mysterious bread

1 O thou, who this mysterious bread
Didst in Emmaus break,
Return herewith our souls to feed,
And to thy foll'wers speak.

2 Unseal the volume of thy grace,
Apply the gospel word;
Open our eyes to see thy face,
Our hearts to know thee, Lord.

3 Of thee we still commune, and mourn
Till thou the veil remove;
Talk with us, and our hearts shall burn,
With flames of fervent love.

4 Enkindle now the heavenly zeal,
And make thy mercy known,
And give our pardon'd souls to feel
That God and love are one.
