Along the shores of Galilee,
|
|
| 1. | Along the shores of Galilee, |
| | When Christ five thousand fed, |
| | Not one was omitted |
| | In the breaking of the bread. |
| | Today they die in heathen lands, |
| | They die in want and dread, |
| | For they have been omitted |
| | In the breaking of the Bread. |
| | Lord, I would give them the Bread |
| | of Life, |
| | The Living Water too: |
| | My heart cries out, "Oh, here am I, |
| | Ready, Thy will to do." |
| 2. | Long years have passed and few have |
| | heard |
| | That Jesus Christ had bled, |
| | That they might feed on Him who died |
| | To be the Living Bread. |
| | To gods of stone and wood they cry, |
| | Yet they are never fed, |
| | For they have been omitted |
| | In the breaking of the Bread. |
| 3. | Great God, who gave Thine only Son, |
| | Help us, now Spirit-led, |
| | To tell the story of Thy love |
| | To those who ask for bread. |
| | Then gladly will we go or send, |
| | Till this blest news has spread, |
| | And they have been included |
| | In the breaking of the Bread. |
