1.

A blessed widow ever
had food left in her bin.
/: Though poor we be, we never
to fretting should give in. :/
(1 Kings 17:16)

2.

This timeless revelation
instructs the poor and meek,
/: With faith and dedication
the things of God to seek. :/

3.

Just as God has supplied us
to meet our earthly need,
/: He also will provide us
with heavn’ly food indeed. :/

4.

In home and Church show ever
true hospitality;
/: Have faith in each endeavour,
then food there’ll always be. :/
