THO HOUGH troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us,-The Lord will provide. 2 The birds, without barn or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written,-The Lord will provide. 3 When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us (though oft he has tried) The heart-cheering promise, The Lord will provide. 4 He tells us we're weak,-our hope is in vain; The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain : But when such suggestions our graces have tried, This answers all questions,-The Lord will provide. 5 No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim: 745 Light shining out of darkness. G His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, C. M. |
