Outside of Your Tent
The food is now ready Outside of your tent Are you hungry, my dear one? The manna is sent The angels have brought It soon will be found The manna is waiting Outside of your tent Are you hungry, my dear one? The food has been sent Wait not ‘til the sun Will rise bright and warm And bring to your life A business-like storm And you go on famished ‘til your strength is spent Up now! my dear one Quick, out of your tent! For the morning’s first rays |

Christ has given us no promise of help in bearing today the burdens of tomorrow. He has said, "My grace is sufficient for thee"; but, like the manna given in the wilderness, His grace is bestowed daily, for the day's need. Like the hosts of Israel in their pilgrim life, we may find morning by morning the bread of heaven for the day's supply. SD 119
The provision for the day must be gathered in the morning; for all that remained upon the ground was melted by the sun. PP 295
