166. While Fear Hints, There's Something

1 While fear hints, "There's something God will deny,"
"No good thing" is faith's decisive reply;
Whate'er HE withholds is most wisely denied;
How full is the promise, "The Lord will provide."

2 Begone, unbelief, my Saviour is near,
And for my relief will shortly appear;
By faith let me wrestle, and he will perform;
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.

3 His love in time past forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink;
Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review
Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through.

4 Why should I complain of want or distress,
Temptation or pain? He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation, I know from His Word,
Thru much tribulation must follow the Lord.

5 Tho' troubles assail, and dangers affright,
Tho' friends should all fail and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
The Scriptures assure us the Lord will provide.

Amen.
