In land or store I may be poor;
My place unknown
my name obscure;
Of this I have the witness sure;
O bless the Lord
I’ve Jesus!
What tho’ the world its gifts deny
I’ve riches more than gold can buy—
The key to treasures in the sky!
O bless the Lord
I’ve Jesus!
On life’s rough sea how frail my bark!
But in the storm and densest dark
I have a safe and trusted ark;
O bless the Lord
’tis Jesus!
When shadows deep around me fall
And gloom and fear my soul enthrall
There is an arm beneath them all;
O bless the Lord
’tis Jesus!
Soon will this fleeting life be o’er:
O then
upon the other shore
I’ll be with Him forevermore
Forevermore with Jesus.
