   Blest be the Lord(Blest be the Lord), Blest be the Lord (Blest be the Lord)
                 Am7           D          G
     The God of mercy,      the God who saves
                 C                D        G                          Em

                  Am7       D       G
       nor the arrow that flies by day

C              D                C              G
   He will release me from the nets of sinful men
D              C                    G
   He will protect me from their wicked hands
C                 D              C             G
    beneath the shadow of His wings I will rejoice
D                  C             G
    to find a dwelling place secure.
(Repeat Chorus)

C                D                 C              G
   I need not shrink before the terrors  of the night
D              C                        G
   nor stand alone before the light of day
C                 D              C               G
   no harm shall come to me no arrow strike me down
D             C           G
   no evil settle in my soul
(Repeat Chorus)

C                    D            C           G
   Although a thousand men have fallen at my side
D                C                G
   I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand
C                 D               C             G
   His faithful love is all the armour that I need
D                C             G
   to wage my battle with the foe  

    C - D - C - G - G
