[We do not, Lord, in Thee confide]

When the Jews laid wait for him...he purposed, &c. —xx. 3.

We do not, Lord, in Thee confide,
But tempt, instead of honouring Thee,
Who lay the common means aside,
Neglect our own security,
And look for Thy protecting grace
In a presumptuous idleness.
The prudence which Thy love bestows
As Providence points out, we use,
To disappoint our cruel foes
The most effectual methods choose,
From danger and destruction run,
And then we trust Thy love alone.
