Text: | They Need not Depart |
Author: | W. O. Cushing |
Tune: | [O they need not depart, no, they need not depart] |
Composer: | Robert Lowry |
1 O they need not depart, no, they need not depart;
The soul in its want ye must cherish;
They are hungry and faint, for they have no bread;
O send them not away lest they perish.
Refrain:
O they need not depart, no, they need not depart;
To the Lord kindly lead them;
Bring the hungry and the poor, there’s enough and to spare;
With His wonder-working hand He will feed them.
2 No, they need not depart while the store-house is full;
Why should they be pining in sorrow?
He is waiting for all who are lone and poor;
They all may have enough for tomorrow. [Refrain]
3 No, they need not depart; send the tidings abroad;
A feast is prepared for the lowly;
‘Tis the feast of a King that is spread for all,
The precious bread of life pure and holy. [Refrain]
