The Lord Will Provide (Woolsey)

When trou­bles as­sail us

And dan­gers come nigh

When earth’s friends for­sake us

To whom shall we fly?

There is a sure re­fuge

In which to abide

And that is God’s pro­mise

The Lord will pro­vide.

The Lord will pro­vide

yes

The Lord will pro­vide;

His word is a sure­ty

And He will pro­vide.

Though oft­en temp­ta­tions

Arise in our path

And fill us with fears

We can tri­umph by faith;

When tempt­ed

though weak

And our faith sore­ly tried

There’s one thing to cheer us

The Lord will pro­vide.

No strength of our own

Neither good­ness we claim

But trust the dear Sav­ior

Who for us was slain;

For in Him God’s pro­mise

Was once ve­ri­fied.

And now He’s our Sav­ior;

The Lord did pro­vide.

Though we may have doubts

And our hope seem in vain

Through faith we will con­quer

And sure­ly ob­tain;

His pro­mise is cer­tain;

While He’s on our side

We’ll go on re­joic­ing

The Lord will pro­vide.
