The saints should never be dismayed
Nor sink in hopeless fear;
For when they least expect his aid,
God will for them appear.
When faithful Abraham raised the knife,
The angel cried, �Forbear!�
God saw his faith, and saved the life
Of his loved Isaac there.
When David seemed Saul�s certain prey,
The Philistines at hand,
Hurried the furious king away
To save the invaded land.
When Jonah sunk beneath the wave
He thought to rise no more;
But God prepared a fish to save
And bear him to the shore.
Blest proofs of God�s paternal care
Recorded in his word;
Henceforth may every ill we bear
Be trusted with the Lord.
Wait for his seasonable aid,
And though it tarry wait;
The promise may be long delayed,
But cannot come too late.
