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.
Refrain
