Lord, the ancient types and symbols (Hymn 196)

Verse 1: 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. Verse 2: 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. Verse 3: 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. Verse 4: 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. Verse 5: 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.
