Now to the haven of thy breast

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: The Christian Guidance and Protection Lyrics: 1 Now to the haven of thy breast, O Son of man, I fly; Be thou my refuge and my rest, For oh! the storm is high. 3 Protect me from the furious blast; My shield and shelter be; Hide me, my Saviour, till o'erpast The storm of sin I see. 3 As welcome as the water-spring Is to a barren place, Jesus, descend on me, and bring Thy sweet, refreshing grace. 4 As o'er a parched and weary land A rock extends its shade, So hide me, Saviour, with thy hand, And screen my naked head. 5 How swift to save me didst thou move In every trying hour! O still protect me with thy love, And shield me with thy power. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
