A PLACE of REFUGE to Flee to for Safety in a Day of Danger . This is a day of Danger and of Fear , Hide now I would if that I knew but where . Endeavour then I will a Place to find , Ready prepared , fitting to my Mind , Establisht sure and safe from Storm and Wind . If such a Place I can but get into , Sure then no harm the Storms to me can do . Seek therefore now I will for such a place , All Dangers to escape in every Case . First then let me enquire if this may be Expected on the Land , or on the Sea . The Sea is full of dangers , threats and Woe , Yea and the Land is likely to be so . If I should sin as I see others do , No Safety surely this would bring me to . If I should seek great mens Favour to gain , Endeavouring thereby Safety to obtain , How far might this unto my safety tend ? O there are times when they cannot defend ! Vain is the Help of Man if God do frown : Armies have fail'd when God on them hath blown , Here 's none can save if God will cast us down . Alas , then where shall I find such a Place ? Look farther yet , and stay a little space . On this Occasion then I call'd to mind Notable things which I in Scripture find . Eternal Safety there is to be found Alone in God , whose Strength is firm and sound : No Imperfection is in him at all ; David doth Him his Strength and Fortress call . Noah was sav'd by Him , whenas the Flood Overthrew Sinners , 'cause they were not good . When Sodom was destroy'd , he saved Lot : He will not let his Servants be forgot . Even the Lions rage he did restrain , Regarding Daniel , and he was not slain : Ever he doth and will the same remain . Egyptians which his Israel did pursue Like Lions , yet he them soon overthrew ; So that his People safe he brought to shoar ; Egyptians drown'd , and they saw them no more . Famine shall not his People make asham'd ; On them he looks , tho they sometimes are blam'd . Regard he doth their Cryes , and will bestow Mercies on them , because his Name they know : Every State to them some good shall bring , Eternally his Praises they shall sing .
