If Birds That Neither Sow Nor Reap

If birds that neither sow nor reap

Representative Text

1. If birds that neither sow nor reap
Nor store up any food
Constantly find to them and theirs
A Maker kind and good;

2. If man provide eke for his birds,
In yard, in coops, in cage;
And each bird spends in songs and tunes,
His little time and age;

3. What care will man, what care will God
For wife and children take?
Millions of birds and worlds will God
Sooner than His forsake.
