The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed

 

VERSE 1

Though troubles assail us and dangers affright,

The saints should never be dismayed,

Nor sink in hopeless fear;

For when they least expect His aid,

The Savior will appear.

 

VERSE 2

This Abr’am found: he raised the knife;

God saw, and said, “Forbear!

Yon ram shall yield his meaner life;

Behold the victim there.”

 

VERSE 3

Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey;

But hark! the foe’s at hand;

Saul turns his arms another way,

To save th’invaded land.

 

VERSE 4

When Jonah sunk beneath the wave,

He thought to rise no more;

But God prepared a fish to save,

And bear him to the shore.

 

VERSE 5

Blest proofs of power and grace divine,

That meet us in His Word!

May every deep felt care of mine

Be trusted with the Lord.

 

VERSE 6

Wait for His seasonable aid,

And though it tarry, wait:

The promise may be long delayed,

But cannot come too late.
