O blessed shelter from the storm, The sinner's sure retreat: O trysting-place, where heavenly love And heavenly justice meet. 2 There lies beyond its shadow Upon the farther side The darkness of an awful pit That opens deep and wide; But, lo, between, there stands the cross Of Him who died to save With His own life-blood my lost soul From that eternal grave. 3 Upon the cross of Jesus Mine eye by faith can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart with tears Two wonders I confess, The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 4 O Christ, beneath that shadow Be my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of Thy face; Content to let the world go by, And count its gain but loss; This sinful self my only shame, My only hope Thy cross.

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 2 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.
