A Shelter in the Time of Storm

Lyrics by
Vernon J. Charlesworth (1880)
Music by
Ira D. Sankey (1880)
Tune
SHELTER · 8.7.8.7 with refrain
Scripture
Psalm 46:1
Verse 1
The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever may betide,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain
Mighty Rock in a weary land,
Cooling shade on the burning sand,
Faithful guide for the pilgrim band;
A shelter in the time of storm.
Verse 2
A shade by day, defense by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Verse 3
The raging floods may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm;
We find in God a safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Verse 4
O Rock divine, O Refuge dear,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our helper, ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm.

A popular gospel hymn from the Sankey era emphasizing God's protection during storms of life.
