Lyrics

If my heart is the Lord’s
All His works I shall do;
In my life I will show
That to Him I am true.

Refrain

Doing His will I ne­ver shall stray
Far from the beau­ti­ful path away.

If I keep in the way
Where He bids me ab­ide,
I shall be safe from harm
With my Lord close allied.

Refrain

He will guide me in peace,
Be my stay and my shield,
And no foes shall pre­vail
While He owns me His child.

Refrain

Thro’ the years of my life
His ex­ceed­ing re­ward
Shall be mine, till the end
Purest bliss shall afford.
