Verse 3: Christ Jesus is the food we eat; He is our bread, He is our meat; He is our life-supply complete; We daily eat of Him. We daily eat of Him, We daily eat of Him. He is our life-supply complete; We daily eat of Him. Verse 4: This feast is so enjoyable; To men it's so available, For God said whosoever will May come and freely eat.
