So long as ’tis written, The Lord will provide.
3 We may, like the ships, by tempests be tossed
On perilous deeps, but can not be lost:
Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide,
The promise engages, The Lord will provide.
4 His call we obey, like Abrah’m 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.
5 No strength of our own, or goodness, we claim;
