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