Grace After Meat - Another (Part II) Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1739), Part II Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- 1 Fountain of all the good we see Streaming from heav’n above, Saviour! Our faith we act on thee, And exercise our love. 2 ’Tis not the outward food we eat Doth this new strength afford, ’Tis thou, whose presence makes it meat, Thou the life-giving word. 3 Man doth not live by bread alone, Whate’er thou wilt can feed; Thy power converts the bread to stone, And turns the stone to bread. 4 Thou art our food: we taste thee now, In thee we move and breathe, Our bodies’ only life art thou, And all besides is death!
