Luke 4:2: Severei v tried by inward want
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Severei v tried by inward want.
Let not thy hungry spirit faint,
Nor to the creature fly:
Man doth not live by bread alone;
If God pronounce the word, a stone
Shall all thy needs supply.
His love can find a thousand ways
Thy soul in its extreme distress
To succour and relieve:
Wait on thy God, be hungry still,
And let Him when and as He will
The lasting comfort give.
