When Hagar Found the Bottle Spent

When Ha­gar found the bot­tle spent

And wept o’er Ish­ma­el;

A mes­sage from the Lord was sent

To guide her to a well.

Should not Eli­jah’s cake and cruse

Convince us at this day

A gra­cious God will not re­fuse

Provisions by the way?

His saints and serv­ants shall be fed

The promise is se­cure;

Bread shall be giv­en them

He has said

Their wa­ter shall be sure.

Repasts far rich­er they shall prove

Than all earth’s dain­ties are;

’Tis sweet to taste a Sav­ior’s love

Though in the mean­est fare.

To Je­sus then your trou­ble bring

Nor mur­mur at your lot;

While you art poor

and He is king

You shall not be for­got.
