Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #22a (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! 2 All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav'n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee. 3 Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou are Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are Thine: Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother love blinds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life. Amen.

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #23 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Do not turn away the children Lyrics: “Do not turn away the children. Let them come to me instead, For to them belongs the kingdom. Make them welcome!” Christ, you said. As we hear your words of blessing That you spoke when they drew near, Can we hear your love addressing Needs of children we see here? Do not turn your back on children Hungry, hunted in Darfur;* Give them justice, food and welcome, Make their homes and lives secure. Don’t neglect the world of children Who have AIDS and HIV, For to them belongs the kingdom. Give them health care that they need. Do not tell the nation’s children, “Schools are what we can’t afford!” Give them all good education; Teach them well, both rich and poor. Do not hurry past the children Longing for your love this day; For to them belongs the kingdom; Give them time, don’t turn away. Do not miss the faith of children Who have questions deep inside, For to them belongs the kingdom; Wonder with them, be their guide. Jesus, as we hear your blessing For those ones you welcomed in, May our deeds reflect your caring As we welcome them again! *Alternative wording, “Who know violence, pain and war.” Topics: Children and Youth; Justice Scripture: Luke 18:15-17 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING
