God Gives Us Bread

OMA OLNA MARTIN

"Give us this day our daily bread,"We pray to God on high,And God, whose hand is bountiful,Gives us a full supply.But with the gift He gives a task:Out where His fields are white,He bids us go, when we have fed,And work for Him aright.

God gives us bread, and swiftly daysMove onward in their flight,And there is much that must be doneWhile yet the hours are bright;So let us eat and rise to work—Alert and strong each one—Till as in heaven so on earthGod's gracious will is done;
