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.
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.
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.
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” (Romans 7:18)
“For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.” (Psalm 61:3)
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10)

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.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
“When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” (Psalm 56:9)
