Lyrics

Come to this shel­ter, safe re­treat,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, for the storms around you beat,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Hide you in the blood,
For the storms are rag­ing high;
Hide you in the blood,
Till the dan­gers pass you by.

Come from the loath­some ways of sin,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, for the Lord will take you in,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, for the dan­gers ho­ver near,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, He’ll pro­tect you from all fear,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, for your sins the Lord has bled,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, tho’ they seem like crim­son, red,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.
