For the Poor
Olney Hymns, William Cowper, from Cowper's Poems, Sheldon & Company, New York
When Hagar found the bottle spent, Should not Elijah's cake and cruse His saints and servants shall be fed, Repasts far richer they shall prove, To Jesus then your trouble bring,And wept o'er Ishmael,
A message from the Lord was sent
To guide her to a well.
Convince us at this day,
A gracious God will not refuse
Provisions by the way?
The promise is secure;
"Bread shall be given them," as He said,
"Their water shall be sure."
Than all earth's dainties are;
&ls;Tis sweet to taste a Saviour's love,
Though in the meanest fare.
Nor murmur at your lot;
While you are poor and He is King,
