He will be our guide even to the end.

If you know Macartney’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Weeden,
The Savior’s arms are opened wide,
He shields from the storms of life;
We fear no ill when by His side,
He shields from the storms of life.
Refrain
He shields from the storms of life,
He shields from the storms of life;
We’ll praise Him with an endless song,
He shields from the storms of life.
No matter where His hand may lead,
He shields from the storms of life;
His loving care supplies our need,
He shields from the storms of life.
Refrain
Though oft our steps have gone astray,
He shields from the storms of life;
He brought us to the narrow way,
He shields from the storms of life.
Refrain
He is our loving guide and friend,
He shields from the storms of life;
He’ll safely keep us to the end,
He shields from the storms of life.
