The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16933

16933. Tho’ the tem­pests of sor­row sweep ov­er my way

1 Tho’ the tem­pests of sor­row sweep ov­er my way,
As the bil­lows sweep ov­er the sea;
Still the Sav­ior can speak, and the winds will ob­ey,
And I know that His love shel­ters me.

Refrain:
Oh! I know that His dear loving care shelters me,
When the billows sweep over the sea;
In His love I’ll abide, ’neath His shadow I’ll hide,
For I know that His love shelters me.

2 Tho’ the surges of sin all around me may roll,
In the Savior a refuge I see;
And the calm of His voice bringeth peace to my soul,
For I know that His love shelters me. [Refrain]

3 I am happy to know that a Savior is near,
And He’ll make my heart joyful and free;
Then behind me I’ll cast all my doubting and fear,
For I know that His love shelters me. [Refrain]

4 Will you come to the Savior? He ever will guide,
And your refuge He gladly will be;
In His love as a harbor you safely may hide,
For I know that His love shelters me. [Refrain]
