In the Ark

When judg­ment thun­ders cloud the sky

And storms are down­ward hurled

The ark of God comes float­ing by

To save a drown­ing world.

In the ark

in the ark

There is room for you and me

And a re­fuge from the ov­er­whelm­ing flood.

’Tis the day of grace

Je­sus makes sal­va­tion free

And there’s safe­ty in the ark of God.

Upon the bil­lows wide and dark

By rag­ing tem­pests tossed

The Sav­ior throws His pre­cious ark

Wide op­en for the lost.

I’m lost with­out

I’m safe with­in

To wait I can’t af­ford;

I en­ter

and there shuts me in

The love of Christ the Lord.

The bow of pro­mise spans the sea

The roll­ing surg­es cease;

The heav’n­ly dove brings back to me

The ol­ive branch of peace.
