HE WHO FEEDS THE RAVENS
/
Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises with healing on His wings;
/
When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining, to cheer it after the rain.
In holy contemplation we sweetly then pursue
The theme of God s salvation, and find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say,
Even let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may!
It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing, will clothe His people too;
Beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread.
