Lyrics:

Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
Jesus, with Thy love befriend us;
Thou refresh us, Thou defend us,
Thine eternal goodness send us,
In the land of life to see: Thou O Christ, 
Who on earth such food bestoweth,
Grant us with Thy saints, thou lowest,
Where the heavenly feast thou showest,
Fellow heirs and guests to be.
