EN 305 Is Thy Cruse of Comfort Wasting?

1Kgs.17.16

Versi Version 1

1

Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?

Rise, and with thy brother share.

And through all the years of famine

On its bounty ye shall fare.

2

Love divine will fill thy storehouse,

Or thy handful still renew;

Scanty fare for one will often

Make a royal feast for two.

3

For the heart grows rich in giving;

All its wealth is living grain;

Seeds, which mildew in the garner,

Scattered, fill with gold the plain.

4

Is thy burden hard and heavy,

Do thy steps drag wearily?

Help to bear thy brother’s burden;

God will bear both it and thee.

5

Numb and weary on the mountains,

Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow?

Chafe the frozen form beside thee,

And together both shall grow.

6

Art thou stricken in life’s battle?

Many wounded round thee moan;

Lavish on their wounds thy balsams

And that balm shall heal thine own.

7

Is the heart a well left empty?

None but God its void can fill;

Nothing but a ceaseless fountain

Can its ceaseless longings still.

8

Is the heart a living power?

Self entwined, its strength sinks low;

It can only live in loving,

And by serving love will grow.
