20. Though troubles assail. 1. THOUGH troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide. 2. The birds without barn or store-house are fed, From them let us learn to trust in our Head; His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written the Lord will provide. 3.

No strength of our own, or goodness we claim; Yet since we have known the Savior's great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide, The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide. 7.
