Matthew 6:26: Will man be diligent to serve

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Will man be diligent to serve
His fowls, and let his children starve?
Much less can God the ravens feed,
And let His nobler creatures need:
Doubtless He will our wants supply.
Who feeds His tenants of the sky,
Provides for all their plenteous food,
And fills the universe with good.
