O joy, all joys exceeding! Thou Bread most heavenly, When I on thee am feeding, Thou dost me satisfy With marrow and with fatness, With comfort, joy, and peace, And fill my heart with gladness, Assuaging my distress. 3. Let me perceive thy friendly, Thy cheering countenance; Spread thro' my heart its kindly, Enlivening influence: Without thee, gracious Saviour, To live is nought but pain; To enjoy thy love and favour Is happiness and gain. 4. Earth's glory to inherit Is not what I desire; My heavenly-minded spirit Glows with a nobler fire: Where Christ himself appeareth In brightest majesty, For me a place prepareth, There, there I long to be. 390.* (463.)
