1. Peace, troubled soul! thou need’st not fear; The great Provider still is near; Who fed thee last will feed thee still; Be calm, and seek to do His will.
2. The Lord, who built the earth and sky, In mercy stops to hear thy cry; His promise all may freely claim: “Ask and receive, in Jesus’ name.”
3. His stores are open all and free To such as truly upright be; Water and bread He’ll give for food, With all things else which He sees good.
4. The ravens daily doth He feed, And sends them food as they have need; Although they nothing have in store, Yes as they lack He gives them more.
5. Then do not seek with anxious care What ye shall eat or drink or wear; Your heavenly Father will you feed; He knows that all these things you need.
6. Without reserve give Christ your heart; Let Him His righteousness impart; Then all things else He’ll freely give, With Him you all things shall receive.
7. Thus shall the soul be truly blest, That seeks in God his only rest; May I that happy person be In time and in eternity.
