Hewitt Hymnal: Light and Life Songs #186 (1904) First Line: Jesus is the Refuge, where hides my trusting soul Refrain First Line: Before His precious cross I fall Lyrics: 1 Jesus is the Refuge, where hides my trusting soul; He, the Great Physician, who makes the wounded whole; Jesus is the Shepherded who seeks the wand’ring sheep, And in His sunny pastures, His flock He’ll safely keep. Chorus: Before His precious cross I fall, And find in Him my All in all; On Him in ev’ry need I call, And find in Him my All in all. 2 Jesus is the Brother, for hours of trial born, He, the blest Consoler, to comfort all who mourn; Jesus is the Sunshine to brighten ev’ry day, And He the Guide to lead me along life’s changing way. [Chorus] 3 Jesus is the Captain who conquers in the strife; He, the mighty Fountain of everlasting life; Jesus is the Savior who won me by His love; His presence is the glory of brighter worlds above.
