The Rock of My Refuge

Printed in The Postman, London, England, October 1881, page 1

1. The Lord's our Rock; in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A shelter in the time of storm.

Refrain:
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, A weary land, a weary land;
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, A shelter in the time of storm.

2. A shade by day, defence by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright,
A shelter in the time of storm.
[Refrain]

3. The fiercest storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm;
We'll never quit our safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.
[Refrain]

4. O Rock divine, O Refuge dear,
A shelter in the time of storm;
When needed most be ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm.
[Refrain]
