There’s a refuge in God for the sin burden’d soul,
In the peace giving Fountain whose streams make us whole:
There’s a refuge in Jesus, the sinner’s rich Friend,
Who pardons, and cleanses, and keeps to the end.

There’s a refuge in God for the care burdened heart
That will turn in its sorrow from others apart;
There’s a refuge in Jesus whose love and whose pow’r
Can take off the load in the heaviest hour.

Then, O mourning one, tried one, thy grief cast away
Let the gloom of the night cloud give place to the day;
Thy Redeemer is mighty, His promise is sure,
His grace is sufficient, His truth will endure.

Then O faint not, and fear not His presence is nigh,
And His arm shall protect thee, His fullness supply.
Fully trust His assurance, on Him cast thy load;
Return to thy rest, to thy refuge in God.
