1. When the storm clouds rise and the sky is dark, When oppressed with anxious care; I've a safe retreat in the strong, high tow'r, For no ill can e'er harm me there. * Refrain: I will hide in the safe retreat, I will hide in the safe retreat; When the storm clouds fly till they pass me by I will hide in the safe retreat. 2. When the lightnings flash and the thunders roll, And the storms in fury beat; When they seem so sure to engulf my soul, Then I hide in the safe retreat. 3. Soon the storms will pass and the sky will clear, And my rest be calm and sweet; I will trust and wait with no anxious fear, For I hide in the safe retreat.
