2 When in our Father's House there's store, And we have nought to eat? Remember us, think on the poor, A little broken Meat!
3 Ah! some small Crumbs, Lord, let us have, Which from thy Table fall; A bit of Bread we humbly crave, Or we shall perish all.
4 Bread is the stay and staff of life, 'Tis Bread will do us good; Fill us, O Lord, with holy strife, Till we attain this food.
5 Bread is ordained to an high end, The life of Man to save; ⟨p. 95⟩From Heaven, Lord, thou didst descend, That our poor souls mightst have.
