Song Meaning
Don Moen's recording of Annie Johnson Flint's 1941 hymn builds entirely around James 4:6's promise, "he gives more grace," restated in the title and across every verse: "He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength as the labors increase." The hymn pairs increasing difficulty with increasing provision rather than describing provision as a fixed, limited supply.
"When we have exhausted our store of endurance... our Father's full giving is only begun" reaches for 2 Corinthians 9:8's claim that God is "able to make all grace abound" so that believers have "all sufficiency in everything." "Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision" answers the hymn's central worry directly, naming the fear before dismissing it rather than ignoring it.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as the labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.
[Refrain:]
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
[Refrain]
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will up bear.
