1. Though troubles assail
And dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail
And foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us
Whatever betide,
This promise assures us:
“The Lord will provide!”
2. Though often the heart
With storms be oppressed,
Afflictions do smart,
By Satan distressed,
“O what shall befall us?”
We wearily sighed;
Still He who protects us,
“The Lord will provide!”
3. His call we obey
As Abram of old,
Not knowing our way,
But faith makes us bold;
Where’er He shall lead us,
The way He doth guide;
He knows best who rules us;
“The Lord will provide!”
4. When Satan appears,
Obstructing our path
And fills us with fears,
We conquer by faith;
He cannot take from us,
Though oft he has tried,
The heart-cheering promise:
“The Lord will provide!”
5. He tells us we’re weak,
Our hope is in vain;
The good that we seek
We shall not obtain;
Yet when such temptations
Our patience have tried,
In this we find solace:
“The Lord will provide!”
6. Though merit and strength
We do not possess,
And honor and wealth
Our souls would distress;
In Thy name, Lord Jesus,
We’ll ever abide,
And thus we say: “Amen,
The Lord will provide!”
And dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail
And foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us
Whatever betide,
This promise assures us:
“The Lord will provide!”
