Bread That Strengtheneth Man's Heart

From: Hymns of Ter Steegen and Others

By: Frances A. Bevan

John 6:35³⁵And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. (John 6:35).

MAN, earthy of the earth, an-hungered feeds
On earth's dark poison tree—
Wild gourds, and deadly roots, and bitter weeds;
And as his food is he.
And hungry souls there are, that find and
eat
God's manna day by day—
And glad they are, their life is fresh and sweet,
For as their food are they.
G. T. S.
