Matthew 6:25: Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Labouring as one that labours not,
My wants industrious to supply,
Renouncing every anxious thought,
I would on God alone rely;
His blessing trust. His promise plead,
And ask of Him my daily bread.

Father, instruct my childlike heart
On Thee for all things to depend:
The Giver of my Ufe Thou art.
And wilt support it to the end.
Thy banish'd one on earth sustain.
And bring me to Thyself again.
