The tree of life, how sweet the fruit,

With God as life complete.

I once was dead, but now I live,

Was starved, but now I eat.

'Twas God that brought me to the tree,

With Christ Himself as meat;

How precious did that tree become

When I began to eat.

The Lord Himself is food to me,

He is my life supply;

He will my pure enjoyment be,

None else can satisfy.

I freely eat this living tree,

For eating is the way

To put God's life inside of me,

To live by Him today.
