Lyrics

Where a shelter for the soul?
Who can heart and mind console?
Heal a body as if clay?
Bless it with a better day?
Chorus:
God the shelter for the soul
Heart and mind He does console
Healed this body as if clay
Blessed it with a better day

Who was lost in need of love?
Whose the angels from above?
In our dark Who was the light?
Who gave faith a shield of might?

Who forgiveth, O my soul?
Who reedemeth, O my soul?
Who through Christ has found G-d's peace?
Who from trials found release?
