“The Lord Knoweth How”

“I will trust, and not be afraid.” Isa. 12:2.
THE storm-clouds are rolling across the horizon, And peal upon peal of the thunder is heard; The flashes of lightning are vivid and awful, Yet never a fear in this bosom is stirred; For is it not written, and everywhere shown, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver his own”?
The foe we contend with is artful and cunning, And many, indeed, are the snares he has laid: We are not unmindful of Satan’s devices, Though of his temptations we are not afraid; For is it not written, and everywhere shown, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver his own”?
“The Lord knoweth how,” though we often are puzzled, And to our conceptions no pathway is clear; But since we are guided by Infinite Wisdom, The word he hath spoken forbids every fear; For is it not written, and everywhere shown, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver his own”?
“The Lord knoweth how,” is our strength in our weakness, The promise of sunshine, though storm-clouds appear; A peaceful assurance amid every battle, The way of escape from each trial and fear; For is it not written, and everywhere shown, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver his own”?
