568. Great God, we praise Thy gracious care

1 Great God, we praise Thy gracious care,
Which does our daily bread prepare;
O bless the earthly food we take,
And feed our souls for Jesus' sake.

2 We thank Thee, Lord, for this our food,
For life and health, and every good:
May manna to our souls be given,
The Bread of Life, sent down from heaven.
