The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley 138Ar Meals
Open in the readerFather , our eyes we lift to Thee,
And taste our daily bread:
'Tis now Thy open hand we see,
And on Thy bounty feed.
'Tis now the meaner creatures join
Richly Thy grace to prove;
Fulfil Thy primitive design,
Enjoy'd by thankful love.
Still, while our mouths are fill'd with good,
Our souls to Thee we raise;
Our souls partake of nobler food,
And banquet on Thy praise.
Yet higher still our farthest aim;
To mingle with the blest,
To attend the marriage of the Lamb,
And heaven's eternal feast.
