1 O laden and weary,
Who strive for the right,
Tho' earth be all dreary,
Still trust in His might,
Nor fear for the morrow,
That care will betide;
In sickness or sorrow
The Lord will provide.
Refrain:
The Lord will provide,
The Lord will provide;
How precious the promise,
The Lord will provide!
2 Tho' 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. [Refrain]
3 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
Heaven's glory and gladness,
The Lord will provide. [Refrain]
