O Rock of Refuge

Verse 1

O Rock of Refuge, Saviour, Friend, O’er me Thy shelt’ring arms extend, And evermore my soul defend; O hear, and shelter me; With trembling hope to Thee I fly, Do not my eager suit deny; Receive me, save me, or I die; I trust alone in Thee.

Verse 2

O Rock of Refuge, in Thy grace Receive me to Thy blest embrace; Grant me the longed for hiding place; Elsewhere I cannot go; In Thy dear bosom let me hide, And evermore in Thee abide; No ill shall then my soul betide, Nor fear of coming woe.

Verse 3

O Rock of Refuge, Thou canst give Abiding rest, and bid me live; A weary, helpless fugitive, Let me Thy shelter claim; No foe Thy presence shall invade, Or ever make my soul afraid; Secure within Thy gracious shade, I sing of Thy dear name.
