Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15963 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Laboring and heavy laden,
Wanting help in time of need;
Fainting by the way from hunger,
"Bread of Life!" on Thee we feed.
2 Thirsting for the springs of waters
That, by love’s eternal law,
From the stricken rock are flowing,
"Well of Life!" from Thee we draw.
3 Driven out from happy Eden,
Far from home and shelter strayed,
Tossed with tempest, faint from sunshine,
"Tree of Life!" we seek Thy shade.
4 In the land of cloud and shadow,
Where no human eye can see,
Light to those who sit in darkness,
"Light of Life!" we walk in Thee.
5 Strangers upon earth, and pilgrims
Wearied with the world, and weak,
By life’s many ways bewildered,
"Path of Life!" for Thee we seek. Languages: English Tune Title: BACHMUT
