| 1. | Lord, the ancient types and symbols |
| | As our all Thyself portrayed; |
| | As was shadowed in those figures, |

| | As we on its wonders gaze, |
| | How we marvel at Thy riches |
| | And our song of worship raise. |
| 2. | Lord, Thou art our true Passover, |
| | God passed over us thru,Thee; |
| | By Thyself and Thy redemption |
| | We with f,xod have harmony. |

| | With Thyself and with Thy blood; |
| | We apply Thy blood, our ransom, |
| | Eating Thee, our real food. |
| 3. | Lord, Thou art the Bread from heaven, |
| | The unleavened Bread of life; |
| | Eating Thee, with Thee we mingle, |
| | Ceasing from our sin and. strife. |
| | Lamb and Bread are both Thy figures, |
| | Showing Thou art life to, us; |
| | Feasting on Thee at Thy table, |
| | We enjoy Thy riches thus. |

| | As our daily food supply; |
| | Strengthening and energizing, |
| | All our need to satisfy. |
| | Living Rock Thou also art, Lord, |
| | Cleft for us with life to flow; |
| | Drinking of this living water, |
| | Thirst is quenched, Thy life we know. |
| 5. | Lord, Thou art the Land of Canaan- |
| | Elevated, rich and good, |
| | Flowing with both milk and honey |
| | In a glorious plenitude. |
| | By Thy surplus God we worship, |
| | In Thy fellowship we move; |
| | Thus in love we're joined together |
| | And God's building we will prove. |
