2337. He Shields from the Storms of Life

1. The Savior’s arms are opened wide,
He shields from the storms of life;
We fear no ill when by His side,
He shields from the storms of life.

Refrain
He shields from the storms of life,
He shields from the storms of life;
We’ll praise Him with an endless song,
He shields from the storms of life.

2. No matter where His hand may lead,
He shields from the storms of life;
His loving care supplies our need,
He shields from the storms of life. [Refrain]

3. Though oft our steps have gone astray,
He shields from the storms of life;
He brought us to the narrow way,
He shields from the storms of life. [Refrain]

4. He is our loving Guide and Friend,
He shields from the storms of life;
He’ll safely keep us to the end,
He shields from the storms of life.
Refrain
