Dependence<\/b><\/p>\n
To keep the lamp alive, With oil we fill the bowl; \u2018Tis water makes the willow thrive, And grace that feeds the soul.<\/p>\n
The Lord\u2019s unsparing hand Supplies the living stream; It is not at our own command, But still derived from Him.<\/p>\n
Beware of Peter\u2019s word, Nor confidently say, \u201cI never will deny Thee, Lord,\u201d\u2014 But,\u2014 \u201cGrant I never may.\u201d<\/p>\n
Man\u2019s wisdom is to seek His strength in God alone; And e\u2019en an angel would be weak, Who trusted in his own.<\/p>\n
Retreat beneath His wings, And in His grace confide! This more exalts the King of kings, Than all your works beside.<\/p>\n
In Jesus is our store, Grace issues from His throne; Whoever says, \u201cI want no more,\u201d Confesses he has none.<\/p>\n
