The Lord Will Provide

Though 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.

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.

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.

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.

No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim; Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' dear name: In this, our strong tower, for safety we hide; The Lord is our power, The Lord will provide.

When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through; Not fearing nor doubting with Christ on our side, We' re sure to die feeling, The Lord will provide.
