We come to the hungry feast, hungry for a word of peace,
To hungry hearts unsatisfied the love of God is not denied.
We come, we come to the hungry feast.

We come to the hungry feast, hungry for a world released,
From hungry folk of ev'ry kind, the poor in body, poor in mind,
We come, we come to the hungry feast.

We come to the hungry feast, hungry that the hunger cease,
And knowing, though we eat our fill, the hunger will stay with us still
We come, we come to the hungry feast.

Day 82. Dollar 82. Holy One, Bless with nourishment those whose bodies ache with physical hunger and thirst. Give comfort to those who suffer, near and far. Move your spirit of peace into every broken place. Amen.
