A Hymn for the Hungry

Our Price: £1.25

A song for soloists and SATB, with piano or organ.

Lyrics:

1.Scratch at the sand and grab at the ground - maybe a grain of corn can be found -

So Baltador patiently passes his day, hoping his hunger will go away.

(Chorus) We can sing hymns and kneel down to pray,

Leave God to drive all evil away:

But is that sufficient, we wonder, for Maria, Charminda and Baltador?

2.Cheery Charminda can’t go to school - “You must have shoes, for that is the rule”

He spends all his time walking up and down, begging for cents in Colombo town.

3.Pretty Maria rakes through the trash, selling the bones and bottles for cash:

Yes, Rio’s a city that looks very well, seen from the top of a grand hotel!
