Give kindly heed the while we plead,
We hunger, hear our cry,
Give us the living bread we need;
Yea, manna from on high.
Deliver us from evil, bless
And keep us, make us wise,
Give us more perfect happiness
For every hope that dies.
Oh, leave us not to walk alone,
Our failing strength renew,
Make each believing heart a throne
And sinful thoughts subdue.
Though earthly troubles oft betide
To self-blind eyes give sight;
A little cloud will surely hide
A thousand rays of light.
A thousand rays of light divine
Are streaming from above,
Oh, teach us as the stars to shine
With light of Heav’nly Love.”
LOOKING TO JESUS.
Looking to Jesus is my joy,
Looking to Him when foes annoy;
Looking to Him, the Father sent,
Looking to Him, I am content.
Looking to Jesus, courage, soul!
He will the troubled waves control;
Looking to Him to ease my care,
Looking to Him, my cross I bear.
Looking to Jesus, peace is mine;
Looking to Jesus, friend divine,
Looking to Jesus, all is bright,
Looking to Him, my life, my light.
