{{Text|English| | |||
Though troubles assail | |||
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. | |||
The birds without barn | |||
Or storehouse are fed, | |||
From them let us learn | |||
To trust for our bread: | |||
His saints, what is fitting, | |||
Shall ne’er he denied, | |||
So long as ’tis written, | |||
The Lord will provide.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
We may, like the ships, | |||
By tempest be tossed | |||
On perilous deeps, | |||
But cannot be lost. | |||
Though Satan enrages | |||
The wind and the tide, | |||
The promise engages, | |||
The Lord will provide. | |||
His call we obey | |||
Like Abram of old, | |||
Not knowing our way, | |||
But faith makes us bold; | |||
For though we are strangers | |||
We have a good Guide, | |||
And trust in all dangers, | |||
The Lord will provide.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
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, | |||
This heart–cheering promise, | |||
The Lord will provide. | |||
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, | |||
This answers all questions, | |||
The Lord will provide.}} | |||
{{middle|4}} | |||
{{Text|Simple| | |||
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. | |||
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.}} | |||
