Verse 1: Now the Lord our souls has fed, With Himself, the Living Bread; Fed us, sitting at His feet, With the finest of the wheat. Verse 2: We have endless treasure found; We have all things and abound; Rich abundance and to spare; Shall we not the blessing share? Verse 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. Verse 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: Verse 5: Tell how He hath set us free, How He leads triumphantly; How He satisfies our need; How His rest is rest indeed. Verse 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.
