Clinch Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thousands completely fed with loaves of bread Lyrics: 1 Thousands completely fed with a few loaves of bread Such as would barely form one household’s fare, And, when the feast was o’er, the fragments were a store Enough for needy hundreds still to share. 2 What was the power that wrought this wonder passing thought? What but that Word divine, which called of yore Systems and suns to grace the mighty realms of space, And then with life and beauty spread them o’er? 3 God only can create; none less could arrogate The power to sway all nature with a nod! O Christ! be Thou adored, for that creative word Which blessed the bread was God’s, and Thou art God! Used With Tune: LONG BEACH Text Sources: Churchman's Treasury of Song (London: Methuen: 1907)
