In a believer’s ear;

And drives away his fear.

And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

My shield and hiding-place;
My never-failing treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

Jesus, my Shepherd, Savior, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

With every fleeting breath,
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

My Prophet full of light,
My great High Priest before the throne,
My King of heavenly might.

For me he gave his blood;
And, as my wondrous Sacrifice,
Offered himself to God.

My Joy and Crown above.
