“Lacked ye any thing?” Luke 22. 35; Deut. 2. 7

1 Be still, my heart! these anxious cares
  To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares;
  They cast dishonour on thy Lord,
  And contradict his gracious word.

2 Brought safely by his hand thus far,
  Why dost thou now give place to fear?
  How canst thou want if he provide,
  Or lose thy way with such a guide?

3 Did ever trouble yet befall,
  And he refuse to hear thy call?
  And has he not his promise passed,
  That thou shalt overcome at last?

4 He who has helped me hitherto,
  Will help me all my journey through;
  And give me daily cause to raise
  New Ebenezers to his praise.
