206. Food, raiment, dwelling, health and friends

Food, raiment, dwelling, health and friends,
Thou, Lord, hast made our lot;
With Thee our bliss begins and ends,
As we are Thine, or not.

For these we bend the humble knee,
Our grateful spirits bow;
Yet from Thy gifts we turn to Thee--
Be Thou our portion, Thou!
