H.J. Vine preaches about Jesus being our sustenance and strength on our
journey towards heaven, likening Him to the Bread of Life that provides
us with fresh grace and love daily. He emphasizes how Jesus' sacrifice,
like the manna in the wilderness, is a symbol of divine love that

God's love and sing praises to Him forever.

"Jesus, our food from heaven Thou art,

To feed us on our heavenward way:

The Bread of life, our present part,

Affords fresh grace and strength each day:

And Thou dost give our souls to know

The love which makes them overflow.

'Tis known in Thee, that heavenly love;

It brought Thee here that we might live:

It brought Thee from its home above,

Thy flesh and blood for us to give.

This is the love divine we know;

With grateful praise our hearts o'erflow.

The corn of heaven, the mighty's meat,

Fresh fell for Israel every day;

Upon the dew, this food so sweet

Came down, and round about them lay:

The heavenly type of Him we know,

Whose love has made our hearts o'erflow.

Thus on our journey home we're fed,

And strengthened by the living Bread;

Whilst to the feast above we're led,

Which God our Father there has spread;

Where deeper still His love we'll know,

And sweeter songs shall richly flow.

Then Lord, like Thee in God's abode,

The journey ended here below:

The Bread which fed us on the road,

As "hidden manna" we shall know.

Thy grace and love our lips shall show,

Their melody to Thee o'erflow.
