1 Father eternal,
Life pure and undefiled,
Food for the reconciled,
O living bread!
Bread with all substance rife,
healing all pain and strife,
Breath of eternal Life,
O living bread!

2 Father supernal,
Thou never-failing Love,
Coming from realms above,
O living bread!
Bread with all wholeness fraught,
Fragrant with holy thought,
On angels' pinions brought,
O living bread!

3 Father Almighty,
Swiftly our souls arise
To that which satisfies,
O living bread!
Radiant its light shall be,
Shining eternally,
With us in unity,
O living bread!
