By the Poor Widow’s Oil and Meal
VERSE 1
By the
poor widow’s oil and meal
Elijah
was sustained;
Though
small the stock it lasted well,
For God
the store maintained.
VERSE 2
It
seemed as if from day to day,
They
were to eat and die;
But still,
though in a secret way,
He sent
a fresh supply.
VERSE 3
Thus to
His poor He still will give
Just for
the present hour;
But for
tomorrow they must live
Upon His
word and power.
VERSE 4
No barn
or storehouse they possess
On which
they can depend;
Yet have
no cause to fear distress,
For
Jesus is their Friend.
VERSE 5
Then let
not doubts your mind assail,
Remember,
God has said,
“The
cruse and barrel shall not fail;
My
people shall be fed.”
VERSE 6
And thus
though faint it often seems,
He keeps
their grace alive;
Supplied
by His refreshing streams,
Their
dying hopes revive.
VERSE 7
Though
in ourselves we have no stock,
The Lord
is nigh to save;
His door
flies open when we knock,
And ’tis
but ask and have.
