Blessings Refrain: The Lord He gives, the Lord He takes, Blessed be His name! The Lord builds up, the Lord breaks down, Holy is His name. 1. In Him I live, in Him I move, In Him I have my being, He knows what's best, whate'er I need I'll trust in all as blessing. (Refrain) 2. No matter what flows from His hand, I'll be in faith abiding; He suffered for my very soul, He's e'er by me residing. (Refrain) 3. The more He gives, the more that I Can give in turn to others; I see their pain, extend the hand To sisters and to brothers. (Refrain)
