Though Troubles Assail Us

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 434 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 4 First Line: Though troubles assail us and dangers affright Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail us and dangers affright, though friends should all fail us and foes all unite, yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, the promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; from them let us learn to trust God for our bread. His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied so long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan assails us to stop up our path, and courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, this heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 No strength of our own and no goodness we claim; yet, since we have known of the Savior's great name, in this our strong tower for safety we hide: the Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide."

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the child of God who sings; it is the Lord who rises with healing in his wings; when comforts are declining, he grants the soul again a season of clear shining to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, we joyfully pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say: 'Now let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may: 3 'it can bring with it nothing but God will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe his people, too; beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed, and he who feeds the ravens will give his children bread.' 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither their looked-for fruit should bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds, be there, yet, God the same abiding, his praise shall tune my voice; for while in him confiding I cannot but rejoice.
