BREAD

124.

of heaven! on Thee we feed, For Thy flesh is meat indeed;

Ever let our souls be fed

With this true and living Bread!

Vine of heaven! Thy blood supplies
This bless'd cup of sacrifice:
Lord! Thy wounds our healing give;
To Thy cross we look and live,
Day by day with strength supplied,
Through the life of Him who died:
Lord of life! O let us be
Rooted, grafted, built on Thee!
Honour, glory, might, and praise
Be through never-ending days
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One.

Amen.

SOLDIERS of Christ! arise,

And put your armour on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies,

Through His eternal Son.

Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of JESUS trusts
Is more than conqueror.

Stand, then, in His great might, With all His strength endued; And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God:

That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,

Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.

AT LONDON. Printed by John Daye. Cum privilegio." In a commendatory Preface by Edward Hake, Gent., John Bull is said to have been a "Citezen and Goldsmith of London," and "his honest frend Guilielmo Daman one of her Maiesties Musitions."
