Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord Will Provide. - Genesis xxii.14.
The saints should never be dismayd, 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 seemd Sauls certain prey; But hark! the foes at hand;[1] Saul turns his arms another way, To save the invaded land. When Jonah sunk beneath the wave, He thought to rise no more;[2] 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 delayd, But cannot come too late.
