The Rock of Refuge

Verse 1

Surely, surely, there is safety In the shelter of our Lord, He is ready to protect us, When His mercy is implored; Let us look to Him in trouble When upon life’s stormy sea, He will be a place of refuge, Where our souls at rest may be.

Verse 2

He will lead us on to heaven If we follow in His way; And will be the Star to guide us To the bright, celestial day; Let us steer life’s vessel ever To the harbor of His grace, So that He at last may bring us To behold Him face to face.

Verse 3

He’s a Refuge never failing And a Rock on which to stand; And to us He’s ever reaching With a tender, loving hand; He will keep us safe for ever Sheltered by His boundless love, Till we enter thro’ the portals To the home prepared above.
