160. Though Troubles Assail | 10s or 11s. |
| by J. Newton |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Though troubles assail, | Genesis 22:8,14; Luke 8:23-24; Psalm 12:1; Lamentations 3:22-23; Hebrews 13:5-6 |
| 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. |
|
| 2 | The birds, without barn | Matthew 6:26; Matthew 6:11; Psalm 84:11; Philippians 4:19 |
| 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. |
|
| 3 | We may, like the ships, | Matthew 8:24-25; Psalm 107:29; Psalm 93:3-4 |
| By tempests be tossed |
| On perilous deeps, |
| But cannot be lost; |
| Though Satan enrages |
| The wind and the tide, |
| The promise engages |
| The Lord will provide. |
|
| 4 | His call we obey, | Hebrews 11:8; 1 Peter 2:11; Psalm 48:14; Psalm 12:1 |
| Like Abram of old, |
| Not knowing our 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. |
