Tune: Rosefield
('Bread of heaven, on thee we feed')
*********
Sustain us, your sheep we pray
And guide us e'er in your way
Through pastures green pleasantly
Or hard where the way may be
Looking to you, who us feed
Good Shepherd, meeting our need
Bread and wine you do provide
Unto us it not denied
Your our life, our strength, abide
By your Spirit, still reside
In harts, lives, people we trust
In you Lord, through we are dust
You leave us not comfortless
But come to us, do us bless
Onwards, fields, fountains, moors, plains
Valleys, hills, pray favour deigns
Upon us, do still us keep
We your people, we your sheep
So fed with food spiritual
And too our needs physical
Discovering more of you
Who show us your mercies true
'Til forever with you we
E'er gathered in your fold be

Well written, Orchie, I am sustained, got my bread and got my wine!
Thanks Fred. I will nip round to add water to everyone's wine, thought they will shoot me for it!
Good one Orchie.
Thanks Gold. I forgot to include that I'm the phantom wine-waterer!
I wanted to ask Ram Berles what he likes to eat - but he's gone for a walk.
Will you find him? When will he be back?
