Representative Text

1 There’s a tempest ever raging o’er life’s dark and troubled tide,
O how many souls have yielded to its might!
But in Christ there is a refuge, all are safe who there may hide;
Are you sheltered from the storm tonight?

Refrain:
Are you sheltered from the storm tonight?
Sweetly trusting in the Saviour’s might?
Have you proved his helping pow’r
In temptation’s darkened hour?
Are you sheltered from the storm tonight?

2 There’s a tempest ever raging o’er life’s dark and troubled tide,
And it seeks to veil the eyes to heaven’s light;
But the soul that comes to Jesus shall in sunshine e’er abide;
Are you sheltered from the storm tonight? [Refrain]

3 There’s a tempest ever raging o’er life’s dark and troubled tide,
But with Jesus all the journey shall be bright;
Not a soul who sought this refuge ever yet has been denied;
Are you sheltered from the storm tonight? [Refrain]
