1
The saints should never be dismayed,
Nor sink in hopeless fear;
For when they least expect His aid,
The Saviour will appear.
2
This Abr’am found: he raised the knife:
God saw, and said, “Forbear”;
Yon ram shall yield his meaner life;
Behold the victim there!
3
Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey;
But hark! the foe’s at hand!
Saul turns his arms another way,
To save the invaded land.
4
When Jonah sank beneath the wave,
He thought to rise no more;
But God prepared a fish to save,
And bear him to the shore.
5
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!
