In the Fortress of His Love

1 Sin has thrown its ar­rows ’round me
And with snares my path­way wove;
But I’m safe what­e’er be­tides me,
In the fort­ress of His love.

Refrain:
I will sing the love of Je­sus,
When my strength its weak­ness prove;
I will find the sur­est re­fuge
In the fort­ress of His love.

2 Storms have raged, and tem­pests shat­tered
Every hope sent from ab­ove;
But my sin-tossed soul found shel­ter
In the fort­ress of His love. [Refrain]

3 When life’s day is turned to dark­ness,
And down plea­sure’s path we rove;
There lurks dan­ger—seek for suc­cor,
In the for­tress of His love. [Refrain]

4 When ar­rayed in strong­est armor,
"Tried and true," from Heav’n ab­ove,
Satan’s shafts can nev­er reach me
In the fort­ress of His love. [Refrain]
