Though Troubles Assail Us Cifras

[Intro]
C  Am D   Em G  D7 G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G       C       Am D       Em  G       D7  G
Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright,
        C             Am  D        Em  G        D7 G
Though friends should all fail us, and foes all unite,
              D  G            Em   G  D
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
     C      Am D         Em  G          D7 G
The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide."
 
 
[Verse 2]
G       C     Am    D     Em  G           D7  G
The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed;
     C        Am  D        Em    G       D7  G
From them let us learn to trust God for our bread:
                D  G              Em      G  D
His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied
    C       Am  D         Em  G          D7 G
So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide."
 
 
[Verse 3]
G       C   Am D      Em  G       D7  G
When Satan assails us to stop up our path,
     C       Am  D        Em  G      D7 G
And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith.
          D     G              Em      G  D
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
     C          Am  D         Em  G          D7 G
This heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide."
 
 
[Verse 4]
G       C       Am D        Em G        D7  G
No strength of our own, and no goodness we claim;
     C         Am  D         Em  G         D7   G
Yet, since we have known of the Saviour's great name,
             D      G        Em      G  D
In this our strong tower for safety we hide:
     C      Am  D       Em   G        D7 G
The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide."
