154. Why then Wilt Thou for the Morrow

1 Why, then, wilt thou for the morrow,
O my heart, for thy part
As a heathen sorrow?
Wherefore is thy daily weeping
When God will, loving still,
Take thee in His keeping?

2 God thy life to thee has granted.
Should then not mind and heart
To Him be presented?
In the future He will render
To thee all. None will fall
Who to Him surrender.

3 Do not question: who will feed me?
In His store, God has more;
He will help the needy.
God will guide and lead thee ever.
Only bide by His side;
He will leave thee never.

4 Do not question: who will clothe me?
God's great might will provide,
In His arms enfold thee.
He who watches every flower
Will shield all, great and small.
Only trust His power.

5 He who righteousness is seeking
And who still God's own will
Over all is keeping
Will receive as he requires
Drink and food, ev'ry good
As his heart desires.

6 I will thank Thee for Thy favor
Evermore, and therefore
Never, never waver.
To Thy name be thanks and praises,
Take my part, heal my heart,
Amen, yea, Lord Jesus!
