The New Christian Hymnal ‎#248

248. Blessed Lord, in Thee Is Refuge

1. Blessed Lord, in Thee is refuge,
Safety for my trembling soul,
Pow'r to lift my head when drooping
'Midst the angry billows' roll.
I will trust Thee,
I will trust Thee,
I will trust Thee;
All my life Thou shalt control,
All my life Thou shalt control.

2. In the past, too, unbelieving,
'Midst the tempest I have been,
And my heart has slowly trusted
What my eyes have never seen.
Blessed Jesus,
Blessed Jesus,
Blessed Jesus,
Teach me on Thy arm to lean,
Teach me on Thy arm to lean.

3. Oh, for trust, that brings the triumph
When defeat seems strangely near;
Oh, for faith, that changes fighting
Into vict'ry's ringing cheer!
Faith triumphant,
Faith triumphant,
Faith triumphant,
Knowing not defeat nor fear;
Knowing not defeat nor fear.
