1 Wherefore are ye doubting and fearing,
And not to his word giving heed?
This promise for you has been written,
“My God shall supply all your need.”

Refrain:
My God shall supply,
My God shall supply all your need;
According to his riches in gory by Christ Jesus,
My God shall supply all your need.

2 We come to a bountiful storehouse,
A rich and unfailing supply,
And he who your ev’ry need knoweth,
No good think will ever deny. [Refrain]

3 Lo! even the ravens he feedeth,
And counteth the sparrows that fall;
Much more for his children he careth,
And hears them, tho’ feebly they call. [Refrain]

4 Come humbly yet boldly before him,
His fulness of blessing to claim;
He knoweth our needs, and supplies them,
Thro’ merits of Jesus’ dear name. [Refrain]

Author: Mrs. C. H. Morris

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
