Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R32 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What though no flow’rs the fig-tree clothe,
though vines their fruit deny,
the labour of the olive fail,
and fields no meat supply?
2 Though from the fold, with sad surprise,
my flock cut off I see;
though famine pine in empty stalls,
where herds were wont to be?
3 Yet in the Lord will I be glad,
and glory in his love;
in him I’ll joy, who will the God
of my salvation prove.
4 He to my tardy feet shall lend
the swiftness of the roe;
till, rais'd on high, I safely dwell
beyond the reach of woe.
5 God is the treasure of my soul,
the source of lasting joy;
a joy which want shall not impair,
nor death itself destroy. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Languages: English Tune Title: HUDDERSFIELD
