O, Give Us To Eat
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10088 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D First Line: What shall we do, for the desert is lonely Lyrics: 1 What shall we do, for the desert is lonely,
Here have we lingered till close of the day;
Father, ’tis nightfall, Thy children are hungry,
Lord, we shall faint if Thou send us away;
Rugged and cold are the mountains before us,
If we must perish, we’ll die at Thy feet;
Thou hast the bread that endureth forever,
Savior, dear Savior, O give us to eat.
2 Grant us a faith that is firm and abiding,
Faith that relies on Thy promise alone;
Willing to trust Thee and wait for Thy blessing,
Pleading no merit, no worth of its own;
Where shall we turn for the sunlight of comfort,
Where but to Thee in this barren retreat?
Still do we hunger and thirst in the desert,
Savior, dear Savior, O give us to eat.
3 Thanks for the dew of Thy soul cheering presence,
Dropping like rain, as we journey along;
Nourished and fed from Thy storehouse of mercy,
Love be our watchword, and Jesus our song;
Only in Thee is our hope of salvation,
Only in Thee is our rapture complete;
If but the crumbs that may fall from Thy table,
Savior, dear Savior, O give us to eat. Languages: English Tune Title: MALLORCA

Author of "O, Give Us To Eat" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
