HE LIVES TO ANSWER THEE

1.    O God of Love, Thou art my Refuge,
       Why should I fear when storms against me rage?
       Under Thy wings, I find perfect peace
       And there forever all my strivings cease;
       From all my cares I am now free,
       Thy praise shall be my song eternally.

                    CHORUS

       Bless the Lord of mercies, bless His Name,
       Bless Him O my soul, for His grace:
       He will never fail thee; seek His face;
       He lives, He lives, He lives to answer thee.

2.    Oh Lord, uphold me by Thy right hand
       As on Thy steadfast promises I stand;
       Oh keep me ever close by Thy side,
       For I am strong when I Thee abide;
       Thy pow’rful Name gives victory,
       Thy praise shall be my song eternally.

3.    Thou art my Saviour, Shepherd and Friend,
       I look to Thee, on Whom my joys depend;
       Thy life was laid a ransom for me
       And earned for me a pardon full and free;
       My life, my all shall be for Thee,
       Thy praise shall be my song eternally.

4.    I lift my heart in praise toward Thee
       For all that Thou dost have in store for me;
       Glorious and bright, a sweet, heav’nly hope,
       Radiant and holy New Jerusalem,
       Forever there I’ll reign with Thee;
       Thy praise shall be my song eternally.
