The Homely Words How Often Read! How Seldom Fully Known! "Which Father Of You, Asked For Bread, Would Give His Son A Stone?" How Oft Has Bitter Tear Been Shed, And Heaved How Many A Groan, Because Thou Wouldst Not Give For Bread The Thing That Was A Stone! How Oft The Child Thou Wouldst Have Fed, Thy Gift Away Has Thrown! He Prayed, Thou Heard'St, And Gav'St The Bread: He Cried, "It Is A Stone!" Lord, If I Ask In Doubt And Dread Lest I Be Left To Moan, Am I Not He Who, Asked For Bread, Would Give His Son A Stone?
