O Jesus, My Rock and Refuge

Original tune: America the Beautiful; Samuel A. Ward 1847-1903
Eph. 2:14-16

O Jesus, my rock and refuge on which my hope remains.
For He alone has saved my soul and from God’s wrath, my shame.
My freedom won, my chains undone. Redemption paid in blood.
God put to death the enmity that kept me from His love.

O beautiful the hands and feet that brought the gospel near.
Christ knew no sin yet suffered mine; the love of God appeared.
Amazing Grace, Amazing Love, salvation raptures me.
I once was lost but grace has found, now Jesus I believe.

O perfect love cast out my fear and give me faith to stand.
Against my own and worldly way to live as Christ commands.
For blessed are the ones who walk in spirit so divine,
Who stumble not in Christ own love and reach the hopeful prize.
