HYMN 10. Third Part. P.M.
The Lord will provide. (cont.)
2 |
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,
By tempests be tost
On perilous deeps,
But cannot be lost:
Tho' Satan enrages
The wind and the tide,
The promise engages.
The Lord will provide.
|
4 |
His call we obey,
Like Abra'm of old,
Not knowing our way,
But faith makes us bold;
For tho' we be strangers,
We have a good guide,
And trust in all dangers,
The Lord will provide.
|
5 |
When Satan appears
To stop up our path,
And fill us with fears,
We triumph by faith:
He cannot take from us,
Tho' oft he has tried,
This heart-cheering promise,
The Lord will provide.
|
6 |
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 plied,

HYMN 10. Third Part. P.M.
The Lord will provide. (cont.)
6 |
This answers all questions,
The Lord will provide.
|
7 |
No strength of our own,
Or goodness we claim,
Yet since we have known
The Saviour's great name;
In this our strong tow'r
For safety we hide:
The Lord is our pow'r,
The Lord will provide.
|
8 |
When life sinks apace.
And death is in view,
This word of his grace
Shall comfort us through:
No fearing or doubting,
With Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting,
The Lord will provide.

HYMN 10. Fourth Part. C.M.
The blessings of providence.
1 |
ALMIGHTY Father, gracious Lord,
Kind Guardian of my days.
Thy mercies let my heart record,
In songs of grateful praise.
|
2 |
In life's first dawn, my tender frame
Was thy indulgent care;
Long ere I could pronounce thy name,
Or breathe the infant prayer.
|
3 |
Around my path what dangers rose!
What snares spread all my road!
No pow'r could guard me from my foes,
But my Preserver, God.
|
4 |
How many blessings round me shone,
Where'er I turn'd mine eye!
