Lord, the ancient types and symbols

Lord, the ancient types and symbols As our all Thyself portrayed; As was shadowed in those figures, Real to us Thou now art made. Contemplating such a picture, As we on its wonders gaze, How we marvel at Thy riches And our song of worship raise.

Lord, Thou art our true Passover, God passed over us thru, Thee; By Thyself and Thy redemption We with God have harmony. Thou, the Lamb of God, redeemedst us With Thyself and with Thy blood; We apply Thy blood, our ransom, Eating Thee, our real food.

Lord, Thou art the Bread from heaven, The unleavened Bread of life; Eating Thee, with Thee we mingle, Ceasing from our sin and strife. Lamb and Bread are both Thy figures, Showing Thou art life to us; Feasting on Thee at Thy table, We enjoy Thy riches thus.

Lord, Thou art the Heav'nly Manna, As our daily food supply; Strengthening and energizing, All our need to satisfy. Living Rock Thou also art, Lord, Cleft for us with life to flow; Drinking of this living water, Thirst is quenched, Thy life we know.

Lord, Thou art the Land of Canaan- Elevated, rich and good, Flowing with both milk and honey In a glorious plenitude. By Thy surplus God we worship, In Thy fellowship we move; Thus in love we're joined together And God's building we will prove.
