961 L.M. John Newton
“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.
