God commands the grass to grow

Verse 1
God commands the grass to grow,
Fodder to the cattle gives,
Yet his noblest work below
Man his goodness disbelieves,
Anxious for thy family,
Doubtful of thy Saviour’s power,
Thousands fed by Jesus see,
Fed that thou mayst doubt no more.

Verse 2
Countless miracles unseen
Daily are by Jesus done,
That the careful sons of men
May confide in Him alone,
May their gracious Owner know,
God who answers the request,
Feeds his family below,
Leads them to an endless feast.
