The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. O wondrous food of blessing, O cup that heals our woes! My heart, this gift professing, In thankful songs o'erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy temple's holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace; And Thou hast freely given What earth could never buy, The Bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die! 3 Thou givest all I wanted; Let praise my tongue employ, For Thou hast freely granted The Cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor thou hast shown, With all my soul and spirit I bow before Thy throne. 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here, My course on earth be lengthened, I serve with holy fear: And when Thou call'st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

Like the wand'ring dove that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair, And rejoice forever there. 3 Happy souls! their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies; On they go from strength to strength, Till they reach Thy throne at length, At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place.
