Now the Lord our soul has fed,
|
|
| 1. | Now the Lord our soul has fed, |
| | With Himself, the Living Bread; |
| | Fed us, sitting at His feet, |
| | With the finest of the wheat. |
| 2. | We have endless treasure found; |
| | We have all things and abound; |
| | Rich abundance and to spare; |
| | Shall we not the blessing share? |
| 3. | For, while we are feasting here, |
| | Starving millions, far and near, |
| | Call us with the bitter cry: |
| | Come and help us, or we die. |
| 4. | In this day of full increase, |
| | Shall we, can we, hold our peace? |
| | Staying here we do not well; |
| | Now then, let us go and tell: |
| 5. | Tell how He hath set us free, |
| | How He leads triumphantly; |
| | How He satisfies our need; |
| | How His rest is rest indeed. |
| 6. | Speak, for we, Thy servants, hear; |
| | Thou hast taught us not to fear; |
| | And whate'er Thy word shall be, |
| | We can do it, Lord, in Thee. |
