Christ a Refuge from the Storm. Isa. 4. 6; 32. 2
1
Great Rock, for weary sinners made,
 
When storms of sin distress the soul,
 
Here let me rest my weary head,
 
When lightnings blaze and thunders roll.
2
Within the clefts of his dear side,
 
There all his saints in safety dwell.
 
And what from Jesus shall divide?
 
Not all the rage of earth or hell.
3
Blessed with the pardon of her sin,
 
My soul beneath thy shade would lie,
 
And sing the love that took me in,
 
While others sank in sin to die.
4
O sacred covert from the beams
 
That on the weary traveller beat,
 
How welcome are thy shade and streams;
 
How blest, how sacred, and how sweet!
