181. When Satan Appears

10s or 11s.
by J. Newton
1
When Satan appears
 
To stop up our path,
 
And fill us with fears,
 
We triumph by faith;
 
He cannot take from us,
 
Though oft he has tried,
 
The heart-cheering promise,
 
The Lord will provide.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” (Genesis 22:8)
“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.” (Genesis 22:14)
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 spirits have tried,
 
This answers all questions,
 
The Lord will provide.
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
3
No strength of our own,
 
Or goodness we claim;
 
Yet since we have known
 
The Savior’s great name,
 
In this, our strong tower,
 
For safety we hide,
 
The Lord is our power,
 
The Lord will provide.
4
Should life sink apace,
 
And death be in view,
 
This word of His grace
 
Shall comfort us through;
 
No fearing or doubting,
 
With Christ on our side,
 
Through faith we’ll die shouting,
 
The Lord will provide.
