Hymn 6 JEHOVAH-JIREH, The LORD will provide. Genesis 22:14

8,6,8,6

JEHOVAH-JIREH,
The LORD will provide.
Genesis 22:14

The saints should never be dismayed,

Nor sink in hopeless fear;

For when they least expect his aid,

The Savior will appear.

This Abraham found, he raised the knife,

GOD saw, and said, "Forbear;"

Yon ram shall yield his meaner life,

Behold the victim there.

Once David seemed Saul's certain prey,

But hark! the foe's at hand;
1 Samuel 23:27

Saul turns his arms another way,

To save th' invaded land.

When Jonah sunk beneath the wave

He thought to rise no more;
Jonah 1:17

But God prepared a fish to save,

And bear him to the shore.

Blest proofs of pow'r and grace divine,

That meet us in his word!

May every deep-felt care of mine

Be trusted with the Lord.

Wait for his seasonable aid,

And though it tarry wait:

The promise may be long-delayed,

But cannot come too late.
