THE SAINTS' REFUGE.
“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”
—Deuteronomy, xxxiii. 27.
All language must be faint
The blessedness to paint
Of those who place their trust, O Lord! in thee;
Whose spirits upward soar
To Thee, who evermore
The refuge of the righteous deign'st to be.
The blessedness to paint
Of those who place their trust, O Lord! in thee;
Whose spirits upward soar
To Thee, who evermore
The refuge of the righteous deign'st to be.
These in the hour of woe,
Which all on earth must know,
Look up to Thee through thy incarnate Son,
And by thy Spirit's grace
On Thee reliance place
Rememb'ring what thine outstretch'd arm has done.
Which all on earth must know,
Look up to Thee through thy incarnate Son,
And by thy Spirit's grace
On Thee reliance place
Rememb'ring what thine outstretch'd arm has done.
Thou art their refuge still,
In every time of ill,
Beneath are thy eternal arms of love;
On earth they sing thy praise,
And songs more sweet shall raise
To Thee and to the Lamb in realms above.
In every time of ill,
Beneath are thy eternal arms of love;
On earth they sing thy praise,
And songs more sweet shall raise
To Thee and to the Lamb in realms above.
