 1  Lord, the ancient types and symbols

       As our all Thyself portrayed;

    As was shadowed in those figures,

       Real to us Thou now art made.

    Contemplating such a picture,

       As we on its wonders gaze,

    How we marvel at Thy riches

       And our song of worship raise.

 

 2  Lord, Thou art our true Passover,

       God passed over us thru Thee;

    By Thyself and Thy redemption

       We with God have harmony.

    Thou, the Lamb of God, redeemedst us

       With Thyself and with Thy blood;

    We apply Thy blood, our ransom,

       Eating Thee, our real food.

 

 3  Lord, Thou art the Bread from heaven,

       The unleavened Bread of life;

    Eating Thee, with Thee we mingle,

       Ceasing from our sin and strife.

    Lamb and Bread are both Thy figures,

       Showing Thou art life to us;

    Feasting on Thee at Thy table,

       We enjoy Thy riches thus.

 

 4  Lord, Thou art the Heav'nly Manna,

       As our daily food supply;

    Strengthening and energizing,

       All our need to satisfy.

    Living Rock Thou also art, Lord,

       Cleft for us with life to flow;

    Drinking of this living water,

       Thirst is quenched, Thy life we know.

 

 5  Lord, Thou art the Land of Canaan —

       Elevated, rich and good,

    Flowing with both milk and honey

       In a glorious plenitude.

    By Thy surplus God we worship,

       In Thy fellowship we move;

    Thus in love we're joined together

       And God's building we will prove.
