Hymn: "I am the bread of life"

The staff musicians, members of the parish choir, and members of the congregation of Christ Church in Pelham, New York offer the hymn "I am the bread of life" as part of our Easter celebration in 2021.
I am the bread of life;
they who come to me shall not hunger;
they who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father draw them.
Refrain:
And I will raise them up,
and I will raise them up on the
last day.
The Bread that I will give
is my Flesh for the life of the world,
and they who eat of this bread,
they shall live for ever.
Refrain
Unless you eat
of the Flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his Blood,
you shall not have life within you.
Refrain
I am the resurrection,
I am the life.
They who believe in me,
even if they die,
they shall live for ever.
Refrain
Yes, Lord, we believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God
who has come into the world.
Refrain
