1 Lift up thy head O toiling saint,
Thy Father’s promise heed;
He giveth might unto the faint,
God will supply thy need.
Refrain:
He will supply thy need,
He will supply thy need,
Yes, all the way from earth to heaven,
God will supply thy need.
2 Does He not see the sparrows fall,
The raven’s nestling feed,
Shall He not listen to thy call?
God will supply thy need. [Chorus]
3 According to His boundless wealth
In Christ the Lord, indeed,
For sickness He will give thee health,
God will supply thy need. [Chorus]
4 His love inspires the fleeting breath,
His wounds, His sorrows plead;
Oh, cling to Him in life and death,
God will supply thy need. [Chorus]
