In the Fortress of His Love

Sin has thrown its ar­rows ’round me

And with snares my path­way wove;

But I’m safe what­e’er be­tides me

In the fort­ress of His love.

I will sing the love of Je­sus

When my strength its weak­ness prove;

I will find the sur­est re­fuge

In the fort­ress of His love.

Storms have raged

and tem­pests shat­tered

Every hope sent from ab­ove;

But my sin-tossed soul found shel­ter

In the fort­ress of His love.

When life’s day is turned to dark­ness

And down plea­sure’s path we rove;

There lurks dan­ger—seek for suc­cor

In the for­tress of His love.

When ar­rayed in strong­est armor

Tried and true

from Heav’n ab­ove

Satan’s shafts can nev­er reach me

In the fort­ress of His love.
