JEHOVAH-JIREH, The LORD will provide by William Cowper
- The saints should never be dismayed,
- Nor sink in hopeless fear;
- For when they least expect his aid,
- The Savior will appear.
- This Abraham found, he raised the knife,
- GOD saw, and said, "Forbear;"
- Yon ram shall yield his meaner life,
- Behold the victim there.
- Once David seemed Saul's certain prey,
- But hark! the foe's at hand;
- Saul turns his arms another way,
- To save th' invaded land.
- When Jonah sunk beneath the wave
- He thought to rise no more;
- But God prepared a fish to save,
- And bear him to the shore.
- Blest proofs of pow'r and grace divine,
- That meet us in his word!
- May every deep-felt care of mine
- Be trusted with the Lord.
- Wait for his seasonable aid,
- And though it tarry wait:
- The promise may be long-delayed,
- But cannot come too late.
