619. A Shelter in the Time of Storm

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, 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]
