Only the Crumbs

Verse 1

Saviour, behold in Thy mercy now, Hungry and poor at Thy feet I bow; Send me not hence or I faint and die, Hear Thou my cry.

Chorus

Only the crumbs from Thy table, Lord, Blessed repast for my soul will be; Only the crumbs from Thy table, Lord, Grant Thou to me.

Verse 2

Saviour, I know, I am least of all, Yet to the feast I have heard The call; Only to gather the crumbs that fall, Glad I shall be.

Verse 3

Many the souls Thou hast kindly fed, Here at Thy table so richly spread; Only the crumbs to receive from Thee, Blest I shall be.

Verse 4

Only the crumbs from Thy table give, Only the crumbs that my soul may live; Only the crumbs would I ask of Thee, O, hear Thou me.
