Along the shores of Galilee, When Christ five thousand fed, Not one was omitted In the breaking of the bread. Today they die in heathen lands, They die in want and dread, For they have been omitted In the breaking of the Bread.

Long years have passed and few have heard That Jesus Christ has bled, That they might feed on Him who died To be that Living Bread. To gods of stone and wood they cry, Yet they are never fed, For they have been omitted In the breaking of the Bread.

Great God, who gave Thine only Son, Help us, now Spirit-led, To tell the story of Thy love To those who ask for bread. Then gladly will we go or send, Till this blest news has spread, And they have been included In the breaking of the Bread.

I was blessed to meet Beatrice Bush Bixler many years ago at a Women's retreat. She was a wonderful song writer, and she wrote mostly mission songs. This is one of my favorites. She was kind enough to put it on tape singing it and then she wrote how the song came about. It was very interesting. At one time she had book of songs named LIFE IS A SYMPHONY. I was blessed to find it on Ebay.
I was blessed to know her and once in a while send her some fudge.
In Matthew 14:14-21 is the account of the feeding of the 5000. Verse 16 says "But Jesus said to them, they do not need to go away, YOU give them something to eat."
Lord have mercy on me! That I would put away all the excuses within me and feed the hungry and the starving with the Living Bread.
I have it in a little green spiral chorus book produced by Bible Memory Association, Inc. P. O. Box 12000, St. Louis, MO "Making Melody" Popular Choruses and Hymns.
I used to have the book with this song in it. I need all four parts, just can't remember the name of the book. Does anyone know the name of the book, or where I might find it.

Thank you so much.

This has an unusual minor key in the verse, changing to a major key in the refrain. It has a sound similar to Jewish music. I like it.
