[Stupendous miracle of love!]

As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live, &c. —vi. 57.

Stupendous miracle of love!
Archangels cannot tell me how
I live by Thee, my life above,
As by the living Father Thou!
But sure as Thee through faith I eat,
Thy Spirit's substance I receive,
And one with my mysterious meat
Through all eternity shall live.
