I: The saints should never be dismay'd, / Nor sink in hopeless fear; / For, when they least expect his aid, / The Saviour will appear.
II: This Abra'm found: he raised the knife, / God saw, and said, "Forbear!
Yon ram shall yield his meaner life --
Behold the victim there."
III: Once David seem'd Saul's certain prey; / But hark! the foe's at hand; / Saul turns his arms another way, / To save th' invaded land.
IV: 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.
V: Bless'd proofs of power and grace divine / That meet us in his word!
May every deep-felt care of mine / Be trusted with the Lord!
VI: Wait for his seasonable aid, / And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long delay'd, / But cannot come too late.
