And drives away his fear.

2) It makes the wounded spirit whole

And calms the troubled breast

And to the weary rest.

Dear name the Rock on which I build
      Em      D/F# G Asus A
My shield and hiding place
     G     A        F#m        Bm
My never failing Treasury filled

With boundless stores of grace.

By Thee, my prayers acceptance gain,

Satan accuses me in vain,
Bm/A      G    A   D
And I am owned a child.

      D         D/C#   D/B  D/A
Weak is the effort of my heart
     Em     D/F#  G  Asus  A
And cold my warmest thought;
     G      A        F#m    Bm
But when I see Thee as Thou art,

I'll praise Thee as I ought.

       D     D/C#      D/B    D/A
'Til then I would Thy love proclaim
      Em  D/F#   G  Asus A
With every fleeting breath,
G            A      F#m    Bm
And may the music of Thy name
Bm/A       G    A    D
Refesh my soul in death.
