[Where the true Joseph is not seen]
Now there came a dearth over all the land.
—vii. 11.
Where the true Joseph is not seen
To show His providential care,
Pining distress and famine lean
And want of every good is there;
For Jesus is the real Bread
Who gives Himself our souls to feed.

Who gives Himself our souls to feed.
Saviour, Thou know'st the things of earth
For hungry souls cannot suffice:
Remove this universal dearth,
Thyself descending from the skies;
Thyself revive our famish'd race,
And fill the world with pardoning grace.
