When Hagar found the bottle spent And wept o'er Ishmael,
A message from the Lord was sent To guide her to a well.
Should not Elijah's cake and cruse Convince us at this day,
A gracious God will not refuse Provisions by the way?
His saints and servants shall be fed,
The promise is secure; "Bread shall be given them," as He said, "Their water shall be sure." Repasts far richer they shall prove,
Than all earth's dainties are; 'Tis sweet to taste a Saviour's love,
Though in the meanest fare.
To Jesus then your trouble bring,
Nor murmur at your lot;
While you are poor and He is King,
You shall not be forgot.(To guide her to a well...):
Genesis xxi.19.(Should not Elijah's cake and cruse...): 1 Kings xvii.14.("Their water shall be sure."):
