Hymn 53
For the Poor
For the Poor
When Hagar found the Bottle spent,
And wept o’er Ishmael,
An Angel of the Lord was sent,
To guide her to a Well.
Should not Elijah’s Cake and Cruse,
Convince us at this day
A gracious God will not refuse
Provisions by the Way.
His Saints and Servants shall be fed,
The Promise is secure,
Bread shall be given them, he has said,
Their Water shall be sure.
Delights far richer they shall prove
Than all Earth’s Dainties are,
’Tis sweet to taste a Savior’s Love,
Tho’ in the meanest Fare.
To Jesus then your Troubles bring,
Nor murmur at your Lot,
Supply is sure while He is King,
You shall not be forgot.
