Jesus, Thou My Only Refuge

Jesus

Thou my on­ly re­fuge

Rock of Ag­es

cleft for me;

As the storm clouds round me ga­ther

Let me hide my­self in Thee.

Hide me

hide me

hide me;

Oh

my Sav­ior

hide me;

While the stor­my bil­lows roll

Thou the re­fuge of my soul.

Words and thoughts and best en­dea­vor

These for sin could not atone;

From the sea now rag­ing round me

Thou canst save

and Thou alone.

Earnestly I plead for mer­cy;

Foul

I to the fount­ain fly;

In the blood shed for re­demp­tion

Wash me

Sav­ior

or I die.

In Thy pre­sence safe­ly hide me

While I draw this fleet­ing breath;

To the hav­en sure­ly guide me

When mine eyes shall close in death.

Hide me

oh

my Sav­ior

hide me

When I soar to worlds un­known;

When I shall

in Thy great glo­ry

See Thee on Thy judg­ment throne.

Then

for­ev­er­more

dear Sav­ior

Rock of Ag­es

cleft for me

Saved from death and sin and sor­row

Let me hide my­self in Thee.
