        1. O Jesus, blessed Lord, to Thee

        My heartfelt thanks forever be,

        Who hast so lovingly bestowed

        On me Thy body and Thy blood.



        2. Break forth, my soul, for joy and say

        What wealth is come to me this day!

        My Savior dwells within my heart:

        How blest am I! How good Thou art!
