Though Troubles Assail Us
VERSE 1
Though
troubles assail us and dangers affright,
Though
friends should all fail us and foes all unite,
Yet one
thing secures us, whatever betide,
The
promise assures us, “The Lord will provide.”
VERSE 2
The
birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed;
From
them let us learn to trust God for our bread.
His
saints what is fitting shall ne’er be denied
So long
as ’tis written, “The Lord will provide.”
VERSE 3
When
Satan assails us to stop up our path,
And
courage all fails us, we triumph by faith.
He
cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
This
heart cheering promise, “The Lord will provide.”
VERSE 4
He tells
us we’re weak, our hope is in vain,
The good
that we seek we never shall obtain,
But when
such suggestions, our graces have tried,
This
answers all questions, “The Lord will provide.”
VERSE 5
No
strength of our own and no goodness we claim;
Yet,
since we have known of the Savior’s great Name,
In this
our strong tower for safety we hide:
The Lord
is our power, “The Lord will provide.”
VERSE 6
When
life sinks apace, and death is in view,
The word
of His grace shall comfort us through,
Not
fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side,
We hope
to die shouting, “The Lord will provide.”
