Subject: Lyr Add: A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF STORM
Here's a related hymn that I grew up with. You can hear the tune at the Cyberhymnal site.

A Shelter in the Time of Storm

Words: Vernon J. Charlesworth, circa 1880.

Music: Ira David Sankey, circa 1885


The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A Shelter in the time of storm.


Refrain
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land;
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.

A shade by day, defense by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright,
A shelter in the time of storm.


Refrain

The raging storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm
We'll never leave our safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
