O 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.

2 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.

3 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.
