“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of.” Matt. 6:8.
“My God shall supply all your need.” Phil. 4:19.
“Of what things ye have need.”
So many things our hearts are needing as the days go by,
And, oh! how sweet the promise, “God shall all your need supply.”
“Of what things ye have need.”
Not every fond desire or wish may here be gratified
But every need that presses sore shall be quite satisfied.
“Of what things ye have need.”
Of strength and courage, faith to follow in the way He leads;
Of patience, waiting for the harvest of a our scattered seeds.
“Of what things ye have need.”
Of love, and rest, and comfort which our hearts are craving so;
We shall have what He sees is needful for our life below.
“Of what things ye have need.”
His guidance, counsel, wisdom, precious manna sent from heaven;
Our daily portion from the King’s rich feast shall still be given.
“Of what things ye have need.”
Of Christ’s sweet legacy of peace to troubled hearts, and all
His presence with us, and His strong up holding when we fall.
“Of what things ye have need.”
Of every pain and sorrow that our spirits needs must bear
Ere we meet to dwell with Him and His sweet likeness wear.
