Composer: | Asa Hull |
Media: | MIDI file |
1 In God I have found a retreat
Where I can securely abide;
No refuge, nor rest so complete,
And here I intend to abide.
Refrain:
Oh, what comfort it brings,
As my soul sweetly sings;
I am safe from all danger
While under His wings.
2 I dread not the terror by night;
No arrow can harm me by day;
His shadow has covered me quite;
My fears He has driven away. [Refrain]
3 The pestilence walking about,
When darkness has settled abroad,
Can never compel me to doubt
The presence and power of God. [Refrain]
4 The wasting destruction at noon,
No fearful foreboding can bring;
With Jesus, my soul doth commune,
His perfect salvation I sing. [Refrain]
5 A thousand may fall at my side,
And ten thousand at my right hand;
Above me His wings are spread wide,
Beneath them in safety I stand. [Refrain]
