PRAYER FOR REFUGE.

By H. M. Kilgore

TUNE.—The Lone Starry Hours.
O GIVE me a refuge with thee, Lord, When the great day of wrath shall be here; When the wicked in terror shall flee, Lord, As the “white cloud” begins to appear; When is heard through the earth, their praying, For the rocks and the mountains to fall, May I, by thy truth here obeying, O Lord, then be saved from it all.
CHORUS: When is heard through the earth, etc.
O give me a refuge with thee, Lord, For none will be able to stand, Save those who thus sheltered shall be, Lord, And kept by thy powerful hand. When the Archangel’s voice shall be calling The dead from the earth and the sea, And the wicked around shall be falling, For safety to thee let me flee.
CHORUS: When the Archangel’s voice, etc.
O give me a refuge with thee, Lord, When the wicked the city surround; When the saints their destruction shall see, Lord, O let me with thee then be found. When the song through the new earth is ringing, Of triumph and joy evermore, Let me join in the heavenly singing, That rolls o’er the glorified shore.
CHORUS: When the song through the new earth, etc.
H. M. KILGORE. South Norridgewock, Me.
