Though troubles assail, And dangers affright

Verse1
Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright;

Though friends should all fail,
And foes all unite

Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide:

The Scripture assures us,
” The Lord will provide.”

Verse2
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.’

Verse3
His call we obey.
Like Abram of old,

Not knowing our way;
But faith makes us bold :

For though we are strangers,
We have a good Guide;

And trust in ail dangers:
” The Lord will provide.”

Verse4
No strength of our own,
Or goodness we claim;

Yet since we have known
The Saviour’s great name,

In this our strong tower
For safety we hide,

Almighty His power:
“The Lord will provide.”
