Jesus My Refuge Eternal

by Fanny J. Crosby

Jesus my refuge eternal,
Hope when all others have flown,
Strong is my faith in thy promise,
There I am clinging alone.

Oft when thy spirit descending,
brings me a token of love,
O how my soul in its rapture,
Dreams of the mansions above.

Jesus my refuge eternal,
Firm shall my anchor abide,
What though life's perils o'ertake me,
Safe in thy shelter I'll hide.

Jesus my refuge eternal,
Dayspring of mercy divine,
While in thy vineyard I labor,
O what a comfort is mine.

Refrain

Watching and waiting,
Longing, my Saviour, for thee,
Watching and waiting,
Come in thy beauty to me.
