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. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ Ministry; Justice Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

And You have freely granted The cup of endless joy. My Lord, I do not merit The favor You have shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Your throne. 4 Lord, grant me then, thus strengthened With heav'nly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, To serve with holy fear. And when You call my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Your merit, Where joys unmingled flow. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: ACH GOTT VOM HIMMELREICHE
