Before Sermon (Book III, Hymn 89)
From Olney Hymns, Book III (1779)
Religion
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,
Athirst and hungry we are come;
Now from the fullness of thy word,
Feast us, and send us thankful home.
