一 何必擔心一握不釋?且讓先知先果腹;
若是神管你的度支,你的來源何患枯?
每天都有新的需要,每天必有新供給;
你既然是祂所創造,祂豈不為你設計?
(副)仍然當愛,仍然當給,照舊你還餘一握;
所有的愛,所有的給,要使神賜加倍多。
二 相信!時候不至蹉跎,雖是不快,總不慢;
相信!瓶子不至乾涸,永遠不空,也不滿。
縱使百合缺了衣衫,縱使小鳥無食啄,
但是寡婦微小麵罎,必定依然有一握。
三 何必豫料明天境遇,目前夠了就可樂;
何必先借明天憂慮,手裏豈非還有著!
愛是生活,給反存留,種得多的,收也多;
好像你已罄你所有,看哪!你還有一握!
1. Share thy handful with the stranger;
Bid the Prophet to thy board;
No resources are in danger
Whose exchequer is the Lord.
Daily new demands await thee,
Daily new supplies are sent;
He alone who doth create thee
Can secure thy nourishment.
Refrain
Keep on loving, keep on giving,
Still you'll find one handful more.
Loving is the truest living,
God will double all thy store.
2. Trust! the Lord will not deny thee,
Ev'ry longing shall be stilled;
Trust! the cruse will yet supply thee,
Never empty, never filled.
Should the lilies lack apparel?
Should the ravens cry in vain?
Even then the widow's barrel
Shall its handful still retain.
3. Why shouldst thou forecast the morrow?
Take with gladness while you may;
Why, dismayed, forbodings borrow?
See! thou hast enough today:
'Tis by loving that thou livest,
Spending doth not waste thy store,
Tho' it seems the last thou givest,
There is, aye, one handful more.
