The Lord Will Provide (Hungerford)

Oh

la­den and wea­ry

Who strive for the right

Though earth be all drea­ry

Still trust in His might;

Nor fear for the mor­row

That care will be­tide—

In sick­ness and sor­row

The Lord will pro­vide.

The Lord will pro­vide

The Lord will pro­vide

In sick­ness or sor­row

The Lord will pro­vide.

Though friends look but cold­ly

And speak not to cheer

Act firm­ly

speak bold­ly

A help­er is near—

An ar­mor for shield­ing

A ban­ner for guide;

Be faith­ful

un­yield­ing—

The Lord will pro­vide.

The bat­tle once ov­er

The tem­pest all past

The face of Je­ho­vah

Will com­fort at last.

Earth’s cares

and its sad­ness

But short­ly can hide

Heav’n’s glo­ry and glad­ness—

The Lord will pro­vide.
