Trust in Providence

Verse 1

Oh, happy man whose hopes rely On Israel's God! He made the sky And earth and seas and all their train; His truth forever stands secure; He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor, And none shall find his promise vain.

Verse 2

The Lord gives vision to the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace, He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release.

Verse 3

I'll praise him wile he lends me breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past While life and thought and beinb last, Or immortality endures.
