By Whom Was David Taught
VERSE 1
By whom
was David taught
To aim
the deadly blow,
When he
Goliath fought,
And laid
the Gittite low?
Nor
sword nor spear the stripling took,
But
chose a pebble from the brook.
VERSE 2
’Twas
Israel’s God and King
Who sent
him to the fight;
Who gave
him strength to fling,
And
skill to aim aright.
Ye
feeble saints, your strength endures,
Because
young David’s God is yours.
VERSE 3
Who
ordered Gideon forth,
To storm
th’invaders’ camp
With
arms of little worth,
A
pitcher and a lamp?
The
trumpets made His coming known
And all
the host was overthrown.
VERSE 4
Oh! I
have seen the day,
When
with a single word,
God
helping me to say,
“My
trust is in the Lord,”
My soul
hath quelled a thousand foes
Fearless
of all that could oppose.
VERSE 5
But
unbelief, self will,
Self
righteousness, and pride,
How
often do they steal
My
weapon from my side!
Yet
David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend,
Will
help His servant to the end.
