Representative Text

1 The Lord is my Refuge, my Strength, and Shield,
And this of a truth I know;
His tender protection is o’er me still,
My comfort where’er I go.

Refrain:
Tho’ bright with the joys that no tongue can tell,
Eternity’s years may be;
O never, no never, can I forget
His wonderful love to me!

2 The Lord is my Refuge, my Strength, and Shield,
All glory to Him I’ll give,
And sing of His mercy by night and day,
For only in Him I live. [Refrain]

3 The Lord is my Refuge, my Strength, and Shield,
My Saviour, my Friend, and Guide!
He makes me a child and an heir of grace:
O what can I ask beside? [Refrain]
