Watch the scene on plain of Dura;
See that hero martyr band,
Firmly standing for Jehovah,
Trusting in His hidden hand.
“He is mighty to deliver”
From the power of death so grim;
Fiery furnace cannot harm them
Leave the miracle to Him!
Bring to Christ your loaves and fishes
Though they be both few and small;
He will use the weakest vessels;
Give to Him your little all.
Do you ask how many thousands
Can be fed with food so slim?
Listen to the Master’s blessing
Leave the miracle to Him!
Oh, ye Christians, learn the lesson;
Are you struggling all the way?
Cease your trying, change to trusting,
Then you’ll triumph every day!
“Whatso’er He bids you, do it”;
Fill the waterpots to brim:
But remember,’tis His battle
Leave the miracle to Him!
Christian worker, looking forward
To the ripened harvest field,
Does the task seem great before you?
Think how rich will be the yield.
Bravely enter with your Master,
Though the prospect may seem dim;
Preach the Word with holy fervor
Leave the miracle to Him!
