A Shelter in the Time of Storm

1 The Lord's our Rock; in Him we hide,  
A Shelter in the time of storm;  
Secure whatever ill betide,  
A Shelter in the time of storm.  

Refrain:  
O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,  
A weary land, a weary land;  
O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land -  
A Shelter in the time of storm.  

2 A Shade by day, Defense by night,  
A Shelter in the time of storm;  
No fears alarm, no foes affright,  
A Shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain]  

3 The raging storms may round us beat,  
A Shelter in the time of storm;  
We'll never leave our safe retreat,  
A Shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain]  

4 O Rock Divine, O Refuge dear,  
A Shelter in the time of storm;  
Be Thou our Helper ever near,  
A Shelter in the time of storm. [Refrain]
