by John Newton, Though troubles assail
“ For though we are strangers We have a good Guide, And trust in all dangers, The Lord will provide. 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. 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. ”
