Father, it is yours each day to yield your children's wants a fresh supply. You clothe the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:28), and hear the young ravens cry (Psalm 147:9). On you we cast our care. We live through you, who know our every need. O feed us with your grace, and give our souls this day the living bread.

Father, ’tis thine each day to yield Thy children’s wants a fresh supply; Thou cloth’st the lillies of the field, And hearest the young ravens cry. On thee we cast our care; we live Thro’ thee, who know’st our every need; O feed us with thy grace, and give Our souls this day the living bread.
