William Cowper - Olney Hymn 2: Jehovah-Jireh: The Lord Will Provide
Work rating: Low

The saints should never be dismay`d, 
Nor sink in hopeless fear; 
For when they least expect His aid, 
The Saviour 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 seem`d Saul`s certain prey; 
But hark! the foe`s at hand; 
Saul turns his arms another way, 
To save the 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 power 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 delay`d, 
But cannot come too late.
