When by day troubles assail us,
When by night dangers affright,
Though our friends all should fail us,
Though our foes all should unite,
This one thing secures us, whatever betide;
This promise assures us: The Lord will provide!
The birds without garner or storehouse are fed.
From the birds let us learn to trust God for bread.
His saints, what is fitting, shall never be denied,
So long as it is written: The Lord will provide!
Even when Satan assails us to stop up our path,
And when courage all fails us, we triumph by faith.
Satan cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
This heart-cheering promise: The Lord will provide!
In Christ, our strong tower, for safety we hide:
The Lord is our power! The Lord will provide!
