O Bread to pilgrims given,
O Food for saints to eat,
O Manna sent from heaven,
For heav'n-born natures meet;
Give us, for Thee long pining,
To eat till richly filled;
Till, earth's delights resigning,
Our every wish is stilled.

O Water, life bestowing,
From out the Savior's heart,
A fountain purely flowing,
A fount of love Thou art.
Oh, let us, freely tasting,
Our burning thirst assuage;
Thy sweetness, never wasting,
Avails from age to age.

Jesus, this feast receiving,
We Thee unseen adore;
Thy faithful word believing,
We take, and doubt no more.
Give us, Thou true and loving,
On earth to live in Thee;
Then, God the veil removing,
Thy glorious face to see.

According to the Bible, Christians should be moving, not standing. We are the true descendants of Abraham (Gal. 3:7). We should be strangers and sojourners on the earth, moving and pitching our tents as he did (Heb. 11:9 , 13 ; 1 Pet. 2:11). We should walk on the earth but not “dwell on the earth” (Rev. 8:13). We have a “commonwealth... in the heavens” (Phil. 3:20). On earth we should “wander without a home” (1 Cor. 4:11). If we have an established dwelling place on earth and cannot migrate, we are not up to the Christian standard; we have a problem. We are rooted on the earth. We must be like nomads and always be moving. When we move, the gospel moves with us. We carry the germs of the gospel with us. Wherever we go, the gospel spreads like a contagion. The gospel should spread to all lands in this way.

Wonderful hymn! "Then God the veil removing" Thank you Lord Jesus You remove the veil on our heart when we turn to you. Praise the Lord!

Another hymn written 2 centuries past testifying of the ageless enjoyment of our Christ and of who He is to us!
