I Feed by Faith on Christ, my Bread

This hymn, with words expressing profound devotion, centres on the spiritual nourishment received through faith in Christ, particularly in the context of the Eucharist. The text paints a vivid picture of the believer partaking in the 'tokens of thy dying love', finding joy and comfort in this sacred act. It speaks of receiving Christ's body and blood, seeing them as a pledge of future glory and a foretaste of eternal communion. The SATB setting offers a rich choral sound, suitable for services focusing on the sacrament of Holy Communion. The English lyrics convey a deep personal connection to Christ's sacrifice and the promise of eternal fellowship.
