Lyics

The ravens, daily God doth feed,
And gives them food as they have need
Altho' they nothing have in store,
Yet, as they lack, he gives them more.


Then do not seek with anxious care,
What you shall eat or drink or wear;
Your heav'nly Father will you feed;
He knows that all these things you need.


Without reserve give Christ your heart,
Let him his righteousness impart;
Then all things else he'll freely give;
In him you all things shall receive.


Thus shall the soul be truly blest,
Who seeks in God his only rest;
May I that happy person be,
In time and in eternity.
