LyicsPeace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear,
Thy great Provider still is near;
Who fed thee last, will feed thee still,
Be calm, and sink into his will.
The Lord, who built the earth and sky,
In mercy stoops to hear thy cry,
His promise all may freely claim,
"Ask and receive in Jesus' name."
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.
Your very hairs which are so small,
By God himself are number'd all;
This truth he publish'd all abroad,
That men might learn to trust the Lord.
The ravens daily he doth feed,
And sends 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 ye 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,
With 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.
