284. O Jesus, blessed Lord, to thee

1 O Jesus, blessed Lord, to thee
My heartfelt thanks forever be,
Who hast so lovingly bestowed
On me thy Body and thy Blood.

2 Break forth, my soul, for joy and say,
'What wealth is come to me this day,
My Saviour dwells within me now,
How blest am I, how good art thou!'

Amen.
