Seeking a Refuge

Verse 1

Nearer my Saviour, still nearer to Thee, This earth’s fleeting comforts, are nothing to me; Perishing daily, like shadows they flee, I’m seeking a refuge, blest Saviour in Thee.

Chorus

Seeking a refuge, seeking a refuge, I’m seeking a refuge, blest Saviour in Thee, Seeking a refuge, seeking a refuge, I’m seeking a refuge, blest Saviour in Thee.

Verse 2

Though I have wandered again and again, Yet ever I hear this inviting refrain; Let nothing keep thee away from my love, It turns my affections to heaven above.

Verse 3

Dark are the shadows of sorrow and woe, But Jesus will light up the pathway I know; Beautiful mansions awaiting on high, With this blest assurance, my hope cannot die.

Verse 4

When the dark valley I’m called to pass thro’, A light from those mansions will open to view; Jesus my Saviour, the bright Morning Star, Will lead to the city whose gates are ajar.
