MY ONLY REFUGE.

LET me fly to Jesus' arms! Let me find a refuge there, When the foe my soul alarms, And would tempt me to despair; I will trust the changeless love, That hath pledged itself to save; Jesus! help me from above, While life's beating storms I brave.
To thy cross I lift mine eyes, There in thy dear wounds I see,— Though my sins before me rise,— That thy death is life to me! On this Rock my soul shall rest, No keen dart shall reach me here, Leaning on thy loving breast, Thou wilt calm each rising fear.
Jesus near thy wounded side, Let me walk from day to day; Ever with my soul abide, While I tread life's thorny way; When the evening shadows fall, Fading in the darksome west, O, be thou my all in all, Thou my everlasting rest.
