The Eyes of All Hope in the Lord

Words and music by Kathleen Pluth, Colin Brumby · 2009

Key of C · 72 BPM · 6/8 · Communion · Psalm 145:15-17

Verse 1

The eyes of all hope in the Lord. He gives them food in proper time.
His open hands shall grant them more than any asks or has in mind.

Verse 2

He needs no storerooms full of food. Five loaves of bread, some fish, provide
enough to feed a multitude upon a lonely mountainside.

Verse 3

The hungry eat their fill of bread: five thousand people satisfied.
And when the crowd has amply fed, twelve baskets-full are set aside.

Verse 4

The Lord is just in all his words: compassionate in all his deeds.
The Lord's almighty hand supports the fainting heart, the trembling knee.

Verse 5

And so let faithful Christians plead an end to hungers, great and small.
The one who knows their every need will not refuse to give them all.

Verse 6

And may our hearts be purified in this great Eucharistic feast
to trust in him whose care abides: our Sacrament, our Life, our Priest.
