Jesus, The Needy Sinner’s Friend,
Command The Crowd To Sit,
Who Hungry Still On Thee Attend,
And Nothing Have To Eat;
They Hear The Word Thy Lips Have Said,
Low At Thy Feet They Bow,
Distribute Now The Heavenly Bread,
And Feed Their Spirits Now.

Over-Whelmed With Blessings From Above,
Father, Before We Taste
These Freshest Tokens Of Thy Love,
We Thank Thee For The Past;
Our Eyes And Hearts To Heaven We Lift,
And, Taught By Jesus, Own
That Every Grace And Every Gift
Descends From Thee Alone.

The Gospel By Our Saviour Blessed
Doth Efficacious Prove,
The Loaves A Thousand-Fold Increased
Communicate His Love;
We Banquet On The Heavenly Bread,
When Christ Himself Imparts,
By His Disciples’ Hands Conveyed
To All Believing Hearts.
