8813. No Shelter But In Christ

1 There is no shelter for the soul,
On earth, in Heav’n above,
No shelter but in Christ the Lord,
No refuge but His love.

Refrain:
Then fly to the ark where the weary dove
Came back to the place of rest;
O fly to the arms, to the sheltering arms
Of the Savior that loves thee best.

2 There is no shelter from the night,
So cold and dark and drear,
But in the Lord, our righteousness,
Whose kindly aid is near. [Refrain]

3 There is no shelter from the storm
That frowns above our head
But in the Lamb of Calvary
Whose blood for all was shed. [Refrain]

4 There is no refuge but in Christ,
Tho’ we the world should gain,
The soul without His grace is lost,
All other hope is vain. [Refrain]
