Text:	“Give Us Our Daily Bread.”
Author:	Conder

30. “Give Us Our Daily Bread.”

Full Text

Day by day the manna fell;
O, to learn this lesson well!
Still by constant mercy fed,
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.

“Day by day,” the promise reads;
Daily strength for daily needs;
Cast foreboding fears away;
Take the manna of to-day.

Lord, our times are in Thy hand;
All our sanguine hopes have planned
To Thy wisdom we resign,
And would mould our wills to Thine.

Thou our daily task shalt give;
Day by day to Thee we live;
So shall added years fulfil
Not our own, our Father’s will.

O, to live exempt from care,
By the energy of prayer;
Strong in faith, with mind subdued,
Glowing yet with gratitude!
