Though troubles assail

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 usThe Lord will provide.

His call we obeyLike Abra'am of old,Not knowing the way;But faith makes us bold:For, though we are strangers,We have a sure guide,And trust, in all dangers,The Lord will provide.

When Satan appearsTo stop up our path,And fill us with fears,We triumph by faith;He cannot take from us,Though oft he has tried,This heart-cheering promise—The Lord will provide.

He tells us we 're weak,Our hope is in vain,The good that we seekWe ne'er shall obtain;But when such suggestionsOur graces have tried,This answers all questions—The Lord will provide.

No strength of our own,Or goodness, we claim;Yet, since we have knownThe Savior's great name,In this our strong towerFor safety we hide—The Lord is our power,The Lord will provide.

When life sinks apaceAnd death is in view,This word of his graceShall comfort us through;No fearing or doubting,With Christ on our side,We hope to fly shouting—The Lord will provide.
