CONFIRM the hope thy word allows, Behold us waiting to be fed ; Bless the provisions of thy house, And satisfy thy poor with bread : Drawn by thine invitation Lord, Thirsty and hungry we are come ! Now from the fulness of thy word, Feast us, and send us thankful home.

1 Now, Lord, inspire the preacher s heart, And teach his tongue to speak ; Food to the hungry soul impart, And cordials to the weak.

2 Furnish us all with light and pow rs To walk in wisdom s ways ; So shall the benefit be ours, And tliou shalt have the praise.

1 THY promise, Lord, and thy command, Have brought us here to-day ; And now, we humbly waiting stand To hear what thou wilt say.

2 Meet us, we pray, with words of peace, And fill our hearts with love ; That from our follies we may cease, And henceforth faithful prove.
