My ref¤uge and hope are in Je¤sus,
My com¤fort in days of dis¤¤tress;
Though wea¤ry the wil¤der¤ness jour¤ney,
I know He will nour¤ish and ¤bless.

Chorus:
Though hosts of sin may sur¤round me,
My heart shall not fear, for I ¤know
My ref¤uge and hope are in Je¤sus,
And on¤ward re¤joic¤ing I ¤go.

His own strong right arm will pro¤tect me,
Though fierce¤ly the foes may as¤¤sail;
I trust in the name of Je¤ho¤vah,
And know I shall sure¤ly pre¤¤vail.

His mer¤cy and faith¤ful¤ness nev¤er
De¤part from the up¤right in ¤heart;
And, know¤ing our frame, He re¤mem¤bers
His Spir¤it and strength to im¤¤part.

He dwells with the meek and the low¤ly;
His coun¤sel is sweet to their ¤soul;
The heart that is hum¤ble and con¤trite,
The Sav¤iour de¤lights to con¤¤trol.
