147. The Promise

1 As thy day thy strength shall be,
Is the promise given thee
By the Father, God and Friend,
Who relief will ever send,
As in humble fervent prayer
Thou dost all thy need declare.

2 As thy day thy strength shall be.
Think not what may happen thee!
Leave the future in his care
Who guards all things ev’rywhere,—
Guides the earth upon its way
By His universal sway.

3 Think’st thou he’ll forget his child
Journeying through the dang’rous wild
Of this world’s entangling snares,
Toiling ‘mid depressing cares?
Ev’ryday of life thou’lt see
AS thy day thy strength shall be.
