Lyrics

In some way or other the Lord will pro­vide;
It may not be my way,
It may not be thy way;
And yet, in His own way,
The Lord will pro­vide.

Refrain

Then, we’ll trust in the Lord,
And He will pro­vide;
Yes, we’ll trust in the Lord,
And He will pro­vide.

At some time or oth­er the Lord will pro­vide;
It may not be my time,
It may not be thy time;
And yet, in His own time,
The Lord will pro­vide.

Refrain

Despond then no long­er; the Lord will pro­vide;
And this be the to­ken—
No word He hath spok­en
Was ever yet brok­en:
The Lord will pro­vide.

Refrain

March on then right bold­ly; the sea shall divide,
The path­way made glo­ri­ous,
With shout­ings vic­to­ri­ous
We’ll join in the chor­us,
The Lord will pro­vide.
