Peace, troubled soul! thou need’st not fear
Sacred Hymns (Manchester Hymnal)
(1840, 1912 ed.), 25
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 freeTo 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 careWhat 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 beIn time and in eternity.
