1. Jehovah is our refuge
Our God in whom we trust
His shadow is our shelter;
Abide in it we must
For he himself will us defend
Upon his might we can depend
Jehovah is a stronghold
Giving shelter to all the just

2. Though thousands will be falling
Along your very side
Among those who are loyal
In safety you'll reside
You will not need to quake with fear
As though great harm to you were near
Your eyes will merely see it
Underneath God's wings you'll abide

3. Protection God will give you
From snares along your way
And never will you falter
In fear or in dismay
The maned young lion, you'll not dread;
Upon the cobra you will tread
Jehovah is our refuge
Ever guarding us on our way
