"Refuge"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns.

"Refuge"

1. A helpless, guilty race,
Expos'd to death and hell ,
But sav'd by sov'reign grace,
With Jacob's God to dwell;
Let heav'n and earth this truth record,
Our Refuge is in Jacob's God .

2. Jehovah's cov'nant love,
And Jesus' wounded side,
A glorious Refuge prove,
In which our souls shall hide;
Begone, ye doubts! away ye fears,
Our Refuge Jacob's God appears.

3. In vain do foes assail,
Or sin and Satan roar,
They never can prevail,
We're safe for evermore:
For Jacob's God a Refuge proves,
To all the helpless souls He loves.
