LyicsWHEN the storms of life are raging,
Tempests wild on sea and land,
I will seek a place of refuge
In the shadow of God's hand.--CHO.
Chorus.--He will hide me, He will hide me,
Where no harm can e'er betide me;
He will hide me, Safely hide me,
In the shadow of His hand.
Though He may send some affliction,
'Twill but make me long for home;
For in love, and not in anger,
All His chastenings will come.--CHO.
Enemies may strive to injure,
Satan all his arts employ;
He will turn what seems to harm me
Into everlasing joy.--CHO.
So, while here the cross I'm bearing,
Meeting storms and billows wild,
Jesus for my soul is caring,
Naught can harm His Father's child.--CHO.
