Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals 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. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here; May they all, Thy Name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2. Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouch-safe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms, and at Thy breast; Thro' life's desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav'nly rest. 3. Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 506 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting-- Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what God commands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!"
