The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10167

10167. My Refuge

1 Jesus, Savior, to Thy side,
From th’avenger I would flee;
Let me safely there abide,
Let Thy grace my refuge be.

Refrain:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

2 Whersoe’er my tent is spread,
There will I Thy name make known;
Israel by one Shepherd led,
Evermore in Him are one. [Refrain]

3 To Thy loving side, each hour,
Close and closer would I cling;
Shielded by Thy mighty power,
Trustful may I ever sing. [Refrain]
