Bread that Strengtheneth Man's Hearts
Gerhard Ter Steegen
John vi.35
Man, earthy of the earth, an-hungered feeds
On earth's dark poison tree --
Wild gourds, and deadly roots, and bitter weeds;
And as his food is he.
And hungry souls there are, that find and eat
God's manna day by day --
And glad they are, their life is fresh and sweet,
For as their food are they.
