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.

A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright,
A shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain]

A shelter in the time of storm;
We'll never leave our safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain]

A shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our helper ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain] Tune Title: SHELTER
