The saints should never be dismayed

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.
