1. O Thou who this mysterious bread
Didst in Emmaus break,
Return, herewith our souls to feed
And to Thy followers speak.

2. Unseal the volume of Thy grace,
Apply the gospel word;
Open our eyes to see Thy face,
Our hearts to know the Lord.

3. Of Thee communing still, we mourn
Till Thou the veil remove;
Talk with us, and our hearts shall burn
With flames of fervent love.

4. Enkindle now the heavenly zeal,
And make Thy mercy known,
And give our pardoned souls to feel
That God and love are one.
