How light the bread of angels upon the human tongue!<br \/>\nThis precious weight of glory that binds the Church in one!<br \/>\nThe flesh with all its passions could never match the bliss<br \/>\nOf mind and heart and memory caught up in heaven&#8217;s kiss.<\/p>\n<p>2. How bless&egrave;d is this banquet, Christ&#8217;s sweet and costly meal.<br \/>\nThe love within the Godhead mysteriously revealed:<br \/>\nWhen God the Son gives glory to God the Father high,<br \/>\nAs God the Holy Spirit effects the sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>3. Forth from His wounded body, the water and the blood,<br \/>\nThe glad&#8217;ning stream of heaven swells to a mighty flood.<br \/>\nIt winds throughout the ages and flows into the hearts<br \/>\nOf saints He makes from sinners with skillful healing arts.<\/p>\n<p>4. This food, so light, refreshing, shall speed our pilgrim way,<br \/>\nUntil that happy morning when dawn turns into day.<br \/>\nUpon the holy mountain, within God&#8217;s holy hall,<br \/>\nThe Father and the Spirit, and Christ, our all in all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\"> &copy; 2005 CanticaNOVA Publications<\/p>\n<p>This sample can be used free of charge if the authors name and copyright notice are attached and you can go to their site to see the music that goes with the meter of the hymn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathy Pluth the writer of a new booklet of hymns wrote to me to promote her little booklet of hymns.
