| The piece of broken bread | B |
| Till on my lips unerring swift | A |
| The morsel she has laid | C |
| - | |
| This is her grace before her food | D |
| This her libation poured | E |

| Heaved up to thank the Lord | E |
| When for the people all he stood | F |
| And with a cake adored | E |
| - | |
| So Father every gift of thine | G |
| I offer at thy knee | H |
| Else take I not the love divine | G |
| With which it comes to me | H |
| Not else the offered grace is mine | G |
| Of sharing life with thee | H |
| - | |
| Yea all my being I would bring | I |
| Yielding it utterly | H |
| Not yet a full possessed thing | I |
| Till heaved again to thee | H |
| Away my self away and cling | I |
| To him that makes thee be | H |
