In times of danger and distress,
To Jesus I will fly;
He is the refuge of my soul,
A refuge ever nigh:
Quickly to him will I repair,
And hope to find protection there.
Should earth and hell unite their force,
My ruin to complete;
Beneath the shadow of his cross,
I see a safe retreat:
Then to the cross will I repair,
And seek a timely refuge there.
Christ is the patron of the poor,
He succours the oppressed;
The saint’s deliverer from wrath,
And his eternal rest:
Then to this friend will I repair,
Nor doubt to find deliverance there.
