Surely, sure­ly there is safe­ty
In the shel­ter of our Lord,
He is rea­dy to pro­tect us,
When His mer­cy is im­plored;
Let us look to Him in trou­ble
When upon life’s stor­my sea;
He will be a place of re­fuge,
Where our souls at rest may be.

He will lead us on to Hea­ven
If we fol­low in His way;
And will be the star to guide us
To the bright, ce­les­tial day;
Let us steer life’s ves­sel ever
To the har­bor of His grace,
So that He at last may bring us
To be­hold Him face to face.

He’s a re­fuge ne­ver fail­ing,
And a rock on which to stand;
And to us He’s ever reach­ing
With a ten­der, lov­ing hand;
He will keep us safe for ev­er
Sheltered by His bound­less love,
Till we en­ter thro’ the por­tals
To the home pre­pared above.
