DAILY BREAD, by                    
First Line: Day by day the manna fell
Last Line: Glowing yet with gratitude!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Day by day the manna fell;
Oh, to learn this lesson well!
Still by constant mercy fed,
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.

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

Lord, our times are in Thy hand:
All our sanguine hopes have planned
To Thy wisdom we resign,
And would mould our wills to Thine.

Thou our daily task shalt give;
Day by day to Thee we live;
So shall added years fulfill
Not our own, our Father's will.

Oh, to live exempt from care
By the energy of prayer;
Strong in faith, with mind subdued
Glowing yet with gratitude!
