Fly to the Refuge

Verse 1

Fly to the refuge in Jesus provided, Haste for thy life; the avenger is near; Though thou hast often thy Saviour derided, Yet in His mercy thy cry He will hear.

Chorus

Then fly to the refuge, No longer delay; Escape for thy life, Escape while you may.

Verse 2

Haste, for the morning is rapidly flying; Haste, for the noontide is passing away; Haste, for the shadows of evening are lying Thick on thy pathway; ah! fly while you may.

Verse 3

Dark is the storm of the’avenger’s fierce anger, Fearful thy doom if it falls on thy head; Fly to the Saviour, oh, tarry no longer; Hide thee in Jesus whose blood has been shed.
