Dear Refuge
Lyrics
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On Thee, when sorrows rise
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies
To Thee I tell each rising grief
For Thou alone can heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel
But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though facedown in the dust
You, who are
My Refuge, my Home
In You, I will abide
You, who are
My Refuge, my Home
In You, I will abide
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will
And wait beneath Thy feet
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will
And wait beneath Thy feet
You, who are
My Refuge, my Home
In You, I will abide
Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the weeper's prayer
Oh may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there
You, who are
My Refuge, my Home
In You, I will abide
