When Hagar found the bottle spent,
And wept o�er Ishmael,
A message from 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.�
Repasts far richer they shall prove
Than all earth�s dainties are;
�Tis sweet to taste a Savior�s love,
Though in the meanest fare.
To Jesus then your trouble bring,
Nor murmur at your lot;
While you art poor, and He is King,
You shall not be forgot.
