Blessed refuge of the soul,
With thy love o'ershadow me;
Still the raging waves control,
Keep my anchor firm on thee.
Gently o'er the ocean's foam
Cheer my heart and guide my way;
Till I hear thy welcome home,
Safe within the gates of day.
Blessed refuge of the soul,
With thy love o'ershadow me
Still the raging waves control,
Keep my anchor firm on thee.
Blessed refuge, mine alone,
While in fervent prayer I bend;
From thy bright celestial throne
Let the star of faith descend,
May its pure and sacred rays,
Breaking through the clouds of night.
Fill my waking thoughts with praise,
Till I hail the morning light.
Blessed refuge of the soul,
With thy love o'ershadow me
Still the raging waves control,
Keep my anchor firm on thee.
Blessed refuge, ever near,
Precious balm for all my woes.
What have I to ask or fear
While I still on thee repose?
Soon with angels I shall rise
Far above this changeful shore,
Where the dawning never dies,
And the darkness comes no more.
Blessed refuge of the soul,
With thy love o'ershadow me
Still the raging waves control,
Keep my anchor firm on thee.
