Though the fig-tree's blossom fail

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Though the fig-tree's blossom fail, And the vines should bring no fruit; Though the olive, smit with hail, Cast its foliage round the root; Though the fields should yield no meat, And the herds forsake the stall, In the folds no flocks should bleat At the shepherd's well-known call:-- Yet will I in God rejoice, In Jehovah I will trust, And extol, with heart and voice, His salvation from the dust; He can raise my fallen head, He can all my sickness cure; God will give His children bread, And their water shall be sure.

See the birds, how, pair by pair, Swift they cleave the yielding air; Thunder, lightning, storm, and wind God doth at his will unbind. 3 See the billows tumbling o'er, Chafing with incessant roar; Hear them as thy sink and swell Loud their Maker's praises tell.
