DAILY BREAD.
Master, help! From hour to hour
Lord, I need thy saving power,
Not to soothe to-morrow's woes;
Not to bless to-night's repose;
Now, I hunger to be fed,
Give to-day my daily bread,
Lord, I need thy saving power,
Not to soothe to-morrow's woes;
Not to bless to-night's repose;
Now, I hunger to be fed,
Give to-day my daily bread,
Every moment hold my hand,
Without Thee I cannot stand.
Show my foot the place to tread,
Step by step I must be led:
Go before me all the way
Give me daily bread to-day.
Without Thee I cannot stand.
Show my foot the place to tread,
Step by step I must be led:
Go before me all the way
Give me daily bread to-day.
If I look beyond the hour,
Heart and hand forget their power;
Sin and sorrow waiting near,
Fill my soul with mortal fear.
Hope and help alike are fled,
I must live by daily bread.
Heart and hand forget their power;
Sin and sorrow waiting near,
Fill my soul with mortal fear.
Hope and help alike are fled,
I must live by daily bread.
While mine eyes are fixed on Thee
Nothing of myself I see;
While thy strength is mine to wear,
All things I can do and bear,
Close beside me, Master, stay!
Give me daily bread to-day.
Nothing of myself I see;
206
All things I can do and bear,
Close beside me, Master, stay!
Give me daily bread to-day.
Then when days shall come no more,
When my need and want are o'er;
When thy feeblest child shall be
Led to living streams by Thee;
Lamb of God! with heavenly bread
May I still by Thee be fed.
When my need and want are o'er;
When thy feeblest child shall be
Led to living streams by Thee;
Lamb of God! with heavenly bread
May I still by Thee be fed.
