His cov’nant truth shall firm­ly stand,
In the Rock of Ag­es hid­ing,
Oft times when sad, I hear her voice,
Oft times when sad, I hear her voice,
The ach­ing heart a com­fort blest,
Speaks to ev­ery hum­ble child,
From eve­ry swell­ing tide of woes,
When foes their plots de­vise;
He made their dark­ness light;
When the storms of earth around me beat,
I find in Christ my Sav­ior

A sure re­treat

Nor shall you e’er be driv­en thence.
In the Re­fuge now abid­ing,
From ev­ery stor­my wind that blows,
From ev­ery stor­my wind that blows,
The sin­ner par­don at Thy feet.
Come, and in My cham­bers hide,
’Tis found be­neath the mer­cy seat.
And keep them safe­ly shel­tered there,
A Sav­ior ev­er nigh,
Safe from ev­ery harm, free from all alarm,
He tells me to press on­ward,
