(\'Come, ye thankful people, come\')
Luke 12 v.22-31
*********
Jesus said, Do not worry
For your life, but at peace be
Not anxious what you shall eat
For the life is more than meat* (*food)
Not troubled what you shall wear
Not consumed by daily care
For the body it sure be
More than clothing, here do see
Consider the birds, for they
Sow not nor reap in their day
They have neither barn, and nor
Do they have houses for store
God feeds them, and how much more
Are you better than birds sure
he for each will so provide
Daily bread He will not hide
And which of you worrying
Can grow taller in each thing?
Who can make their stature more
Than it was in time before?
Consider the flowers how
They do toil not nor spin now
Yet Solomon, His glory
Was not arrayed like one be
If then God so clothe the grass
Today here, then comes to pass
Tomorrow cast in oven
How much more will He clothe then
O you, you of little faith?
This His word, \'tis what He saith
That He will attend, meet needs
His creation He tends, feeds
Seek not what to et or drink
What to wear, not on these think
For the nations of the world
Seek these things to be unfurled
And your Father knows that you
Have need of these things, but view
And seek kingdom of God true
He shall provide here for you
