Though troubles assailAnd 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."The birds, without barnOr storehouse, are fed;From them let us learnTo trust for our bread;His saints what is fittingShall ne'er be denied,So long as 'tis written"The Lord will provide."No strength of our ownOr goodness we claim;Yet since we have knownThe Saviour's great Name,In this, our strong tower,For safety we hide—Almighty His power:"The Lord will provide."
