| Text: | The Lord's Our Rock, in Him We Hide |

| Tune: | SHELTER |
| Composer: | Ira D. Sankey |
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:
O, Jesus is a rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land;
O, Jesus is a rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.
2 A shade by day, defense 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 raging storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm;
We'll never leave 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;
Be Thou our helper ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm. (Refrain)
