(Deut.33:27.)

O Saviour, Thou, the eternal God.
My blessed refuge art,
My sure and certain hiding-place,
The solace of my heart,
My perfect shield, my one retreat,
My sheltering Rock from desert heat.

Yea,' neath the shadow of Thy wings
My heart may ever rest.
May leave all burdens at Thy feet,
And lean upon Thy breast.
When every door seems closed to me,
I know thou e'er dost welcome me.

And with Thine everlasting arms
Beneath me evermore,
I'll learn to know Thy heart of hearts
And its abounding store,
The cradle of my soul to be,
In time, and in Eternity.

H. McD
