189. My Refuge

1. I will hide in Christ my Saviour
When the storms about me roll;
I will seek the blessed harbor
Where no harm can reach my soul.

Chorus:
I will hide me, I will hide me,
I will hide me evermore;
Safe within the Rock of Ages,
I will hide me evermore.

2. When my heart is crush'd with sorrow,
Burdened down with care and grief,
In his loving arms I'll hide me,
There he gives a sweet relief. [Chorus]

3. There I find a holy refuge,
There the troubled waves are still'd,
There he speaks sweet words of comfort
Till my heart is warm'd and filled. [Chorus]

4. I will hide in him forever,
Precious Jesus, what a friend!
He alone can keep me safely
Till I reach my journey's end. [Chorus]
