All wondering on the desert ground
The hungry thousands gazed around,
While Jesus for their need display'd
The power that once the worlds had made.
Few were the words the Saviour spake ;
He only blest the bread and brake;
The scanty loaves, the fishes few,
At His commandment ceaseless grew.
No meagre store, O Lord, have we
Of grace and blessings shower'd from Thee ;
Yet in our barren hearts and dry
More scanty grows the rich supply.
On desert sands we seem to roam,
Weary, and faint, and far from home,
Though pastures green around us grow,
And Thy still waters near us flow.
Oh ! with a living growth inspire,
Not Thy blest gifts, but our desire,
That we may taste Thy mercy's store,
And thirst and hunger never more !
