 3 We may, like the ships, By tempests be tost On perilous deeps, But cannot be lost: Though Satan enrages The wind and the tide, The promise engages The Lord will provide.

4 His call we obey, Like Abr'am 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 When Satan appears, To stop up our path And fill us with fears, We triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, Though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise, The Lord will provide.

6 He tells us we're weak, Our hope is in vain, The good that we seek We ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions Our spirits have plied, This answers all questions, The Lord will provide.

7 No strength of our own Or goodness we claim; Yet since we have known The Saviour's great name, In this our strong tower For safety we hide, The Lord is our power, The Lord will provide.
