Though troubles assail

5 & 6.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
