301.  The Lord Will Provide

1
Though troubles assail and dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide;
The promise assures us, “The Lord will provide.”

2
He tells us we’re weak, our hope is in vain;
The good that we seek we ne’er shall obtain;
But when such suggestions our graces have tried,
This answers all questions, “The Lord will provide.”

3
No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim;
Our trust is all thrown on Jesus’ dear name:
In this, our strong tower, for safety we hide;
The Lord is our power, “The Lord will provide.”
