Ravens Response

orchidee



Tune: Pastor Pastorum

('Faithful Shepherd, feed me')

Based on 1 Kings 17 v.2-6

*********

Lord, we trust you provide

In you we confide

Feed us still like ravens

Fed Elijah then

 

Raven with bread in beak

Sustain us when weak

Seen on village green you

Feed fledglings anew

 

Yet come feed us also

The Lord's hand we know

Fly to us provision

Satisfy each one

 

As in Elijah's days

He trusts you, he prays

Ravens to brook do bring

Him each needful thing

 

He, we, not deserted

Sill by you we fed

And watered, so helped we

By your grace still be
