Shelter Me, Lord

1 Shelter me, Lord! for the blast is strong,
Shelter me, Lord! for the way is long;
Cover me, Lord! for the night is cold,
Hush me to rest, in Thine Arms enfold.

2 There can I rest, without fear of ill,
There find new strength, for the waves are still;
Under Thy Blood, I am cleansed from sin,
Light evermore! Thy deep peace within.

3 Succour me, Lord! for the way is steep,
Succour me, Lord! for the tide is deep;
Strengthen me, Lord! in the path of pain,
Jesus! draw nigh, and my soul sustain.

4 Praise be to Thee for Thy Heavenly Grace,
Poured forth on me from Thy Holy Place;
Glory to Thee for Thy wondrous Love
Shining on me from my Lord above.

5 Shelter me, Lord! from the fiery blast,
Shelter me, Lord, till my life is past:
Cover me, Lord! when the night is cold,
Hush me to rest, in Thine Arms enfold.
