Jesus Alone Can Save

Author: Kate Ulmer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11583 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Where I shall I flee for refuge Refrain First Line: Jesus alone can save me Lyrics: 1 Where I shall I flee for refuge, Hiding when storms are near? Where find a place of safety, Dwelling without a fear? Refrain: Jesus alone can save me, All of my joys increase; From every storm He’ll shield me, Giving my soul sweet peace. 2 Softly I hear Him calling, "Come unto Me, and rest; Here in My arms find shelter, Close to My loving breast." [Refrain] 3 Burdens ofttimes oppress me, Burdens so hard to bear; O, then, how sweet His whisper, "Cast upon Me thy care." [Refrain] 4 Thus would I ever journey On tow’ard my home above, Resting alone on Jesus, Whom, tho’ unseen, I love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SHELTERED

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Composer of "[Where shall I flee for refuge[" in Small Church Music William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
