The good that we seek we ne’er shall obtain:
But when such suggestions our graces have tried,
This answers all questions, ‘The Lord will provide.’
No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim:
Our trust is all thrown in Jesus’ 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,
The Word of His grace shall comfort us through:
Not fearing or doubting with Christ on our side,
