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.
