-
My food is but spareB
And humble my cotC
Yet Jesus dwells thereB
And blesses my lotC
Though thinly I'm cladD
And tempests oft rollE
He's raiment and breadF
And drink to my soulE
-
IIA
-
His presence is wealthG
His grace is a treasureH
His promise is healthG
And joy out of measureH
His word is my restI
His spirit my guideJ
In Him I am blestI
Whatever betideJ
-
IIIA
-
Since Jesus is mineK
Adieu to all sorrowL
I ne'er shall repineK
Nor think of to morrowL
The lily so fairB
And raven so blackM
He nurses with careB
Then how shall I lackM
-
IVN
-
Each promise is sureO
That shines in His wordP
And tells me though poorQ
I'm rich in my LordR
Hence Sorrow and FearS
Since Jesus is nighN
I'll dry up each tearB
And stifle each sighN
-
VN
-
Though prince duke or lordR
Ne'er enter my shedF
King Jesus my boardR
With dainties does spreadF
Since He is my guestI
For joy I shall singT
And ever be blestI
In Jesus my KingT
-
VIN
-
With horrible dinK
Afflictions may swellU
They cleanse me from sinK
They save me from hellU
They're all but the rodV
Of Jesus in loveN
They lead me to GodV
And blessings aboveN
-
VIIN
-
Through sickness and painK
I flee to my LordR
Sweet comfort to gainK
And health from His wordP
Bleak scarcities raiseW
A keener desireH
To feed on His graceX
And wear His attireH
-
VIIIN
-
The trials which frownK
Applied by His bloodY
But plait me a crownK
And work for my goodZ
In praise I shall tellU
When throned in my restI
The things which befellU
Were always the bestI
-
IXX
-
Whatever is hidA2
Shall burst on my sightB2
When hence I have fledF
To glorious lightB2
Should chastisements lowerH
Then let me resignK
Should kindnesses showerH
Let gratitude shineK
-
XX
-
Hence Sorrow and FearS
Since Jesus is nighN
I'll dry up each tearB
And stifle each sighN
And clothed in His wordP
Will conquer my foesX
And follow my LordR
Wherever He goesX
-
XIX
-
My friends let us flyN
To Jesus our KingT
And still as we hieC2
Of grace let us singT
Through pleasure and painK
If faithful we proveN
For cots we shall gainK
A palace aboveN
