And calms the troubled breast;

'Tis manna to the hungry soul, 
     Gm Fm Eb Bb  Eb 
And to the weary rest.

My Shield and hiding place, 
     Ab           Bb       Cm 
My never-failing Treasury filled

With boundless stores of grace;

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, 
   Gm   Fm   Eb   Bb  Eb 
Accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart, 
     Fm      Ddim    Bb 
And cold my warmest thought; 
     Ab             Bb       Cm 
But when I see thee as thou art, 
       Gm    Fm  Eb Bb Eb 
I'll praise thee as I ought. 

Verse 6: 
     Eb       Ab       Bb/D    Eb 
Till then I would thy love proclaim 
     Fm     Ddim      Bb 
With ev'ry fleeting breath; 
     Ab           Bb      Cm 
And may the music of thy Name 
   Gm   Fm  Eb  Bb  Eb 
Refresh my soul in death. 

Ab Eb 
Amen
