LyicsO strong to save and bless,
My Rock and Righteousness,
Draw near to me.
Blessing, and joy, and might,
Wisdom, and love, and light,
Are all with thee.
My Refuge and my Rest,
As child on mother's breast
I lean on thee.
From faintness and from fear,
When foes and ill are near,
Deliver me.
O, answer me, my God;
Thy love is deep and broad,
Thy grace is true.
Thousands this grace have shared;
O, let me now be heard,
O, love me too.
