AUTHOR OF LIFE DIVINE

A HYMN FOR THE 19th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST


Author of life divine,
Who hast a table spread,
Furnished with mystic wine
And everlasting bread,
Preserve the life Thyself hast giv'n,
And feed and train us up for heav'n.

Our needy souls sustain
With fresh supplies of love,
Till all Thy life we gain
And all Thy fullness prove,
And strengthened by Thy perfect grace,
Behold without a veil Thy face.

By Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
