What food God has furnished for those who believe,
Within His own Word there concealed !
As honey is sweet to the natural taste,
So is truth by the Spirit revealed.

What wells God has furnished for those who believe,
Within His own Word deeply stored!
Free draughts for the weary and thirsty to drink,
For such by His Spirit is poured.

What health God has promised for those who believe !
By the word of His grace they will grow,
And more than the strength of the swift and the strong
Is promised to them e'en below.

What light God has furnished for those who believe !
Within His own Word it doth shine,
Revealing both present and heavenly joys,
By His Spirit, to those He calls "Mine."

What nearness is furnished for those who believe!
Within God's own Word, clear and plain;
"In Christ," "by His blood," from afar we are brought,
By His Spirit we joy in His gain.

What wealth God has furnished for those who believe !
Within His own Word there contained ;
More precious than gold, tho' fine it may be,
Are things His own Spirit hath named.

What a portion is theirs who truly believe!
Such things as are heretofore shown,
As food, wells and health, light, nearness and wealth,
In God's Word, by His Spirit made known.
