Religion
Graces: Jesus, to whom alone we live
From Graces (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
Religion
Jesus, to whom alone we live,
Let us from Thyself receive
Our consecrated food,
In nature's acts Thy will pursue,
And do with faith whate'er we do,
To glorify our God.
On earth Thou shalt give us
A taste of Thy love,
And shortly receive us
To banquet above.
