Just are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode:
Who is a God beside the Lord?
Or where's a refuge like our God?
'Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield,
And while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
He lives, and blesséd be my Rock!
The God of my salvation lives:
The dark designs of hell are broke;
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
Before the scoffers of the age
I will exalt my Father's name,
Nor tremble at their mighty rage,
But meet reproach, and bear the shame.
To David and his royal seed
Thy grace for ever shall extend;
Thy love to saints in Christ their Head
Knows not a limit, nor an end.
---Alternative verses---
He lives—and blessings crown his reign—
The God of my salvation lives;
The dark designs of hell are vain,
While heavenly peace my Father gives.
He lives, and blesséd be my Rock!
The God of my salvation lives:
The dark designs of hell he broke;
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
