Storehouses

Storehouses

Surely the houses of store of the Lord,

lacking for nothing but lack, have been laid

bones to the beams with His fullness, arrayed

generously, as abundance befits:

shield, armor, sword – thence the saints are outfit;

faith in great loaves, strength of men to the task;

grace inexhaustible, barrel and cask;

fitness of body and fatness of soul;

justice in seven gold, terrible bowls;

rain for the harvest and lightning for awe;

rule of His love, and the love of His law;

holiness whereby His name to confess;

treasure up-piling, all blessings to bless

heaped for our good, here, by provident Word.
