The tree of life, how sweet the fruit,

The tree of life, how sweet the fruit, With God as life complete. I once was dead, but now I live, Was starved, but now I eat.

' Twas God that brought me to the tree, With Christ Himself as meat; How precious did that tree become When I began to eat.

The Lord Himself is food to me, He is my life supply; He will my pure enjoyment be, None else can satisfy.

I freely eat this living tree, For eating is the way To put God's life inside of me, To live by Him today.
