Give me bread from heaven

LORD, you in your mercies did not forsake the people of Israel in the wilderness. You gave your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouth. 1

You gave them bread from heaven. 2 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat. 3

Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. 4 Your mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 5

The people of Israel ate the manna forty years. 6 Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. 7

O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! 8 I shall not want. 9

Feed me with the food that is needful for me, 10 the bread of life, 11 the true bread from heaven. 12
