GIVE US, O GOD, OUR DAILY BREAD

Give us, O God, our dealing bread
and bread enough to share
that hungry children may be fed
with tasty, wholesome fare.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
by people everywhere.

Give us, O God, a place to live,
a shelter from the storm,
and may we plan and build and give
that all be clothed and warm.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
till all are safe from harm.

Give us, O God, good work to do, 
some labor, skill, or art,
that all, with gifts that come from you,
may take their rightful part.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
by every hand and heart.

And may we never rest content
while others are in need,
but may our days on earth be spent
in giving, not in greed.
Your kingdom come, your will be done
in word and loving deed.
