566. Day by day the manna fell

1 Day by day the manna fell;
O to learn this lesson well!
Still, by constant mercy fed,
Give me, Lord, my daily bread.

2 Day by day, the promise reads,
Daily strength for daily needs;
Cast foreboding fears away,
Take the manna of today.

3 Lord, my times are in thy hand;
All my sanguine hopes have planned
To thy wisdom I resign,
And would make thy purpose mine.

4 Thou my daily tasks halt give,
Day by day to thee I live;
So shall added years fulfil
Not my own, my Father’s will.

5 O to live exempt from care
By the energy of prayer;
Strong in faith, with mind subdued,
Yet elate with gratitude!
