Where is Bread?
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 6:1-15 First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured—
Thousands strong, yet all in need.
“Where is bread?” your people wondered,
Faced with such a crowd to feed.
Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it?
One small boy brought food to share.
Taking what he gave, you blessed it;
All were fed, with much to spare.
Where is bread? We know their yearning;
Every day, we wish for more.
God, in time, we’re slowly learning:
All we own can make us poor.
Our possessions can possess us,
Leaving hunger deep inside.
Christ our Bread, come now and bless us;
At your feast, we’re satisfied.
“Where is bread?” the call is rising;
Millions cry who must be fed.
God, your answer seems surprising:
“You, my Church, you give them bread.”
Bread to fill each hungry spirit,
Bread for hungry stomachs, too!
Give us bread and help us share it.
Richly blest, may we serve you.

by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.

of the vain world's golden store;
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."

Saviour, may we hear thy call,

serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Call and Vocation; Andrew; Discipleship; Evangelism Used With Tune: ST. OSWALD

and publish with our latest breath
