Lyrics

Flee to the ark, in Je­sus find
The on­ly re­fuge for man­kind;
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Flee to the ark of safe­ty now.

Refrain

Flee to the ark of safe­ty now;
Flee to the ark, flee to the ark;
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Flee to the ark of safe­ty now.

Flee to the ark, O sin­ner, haste,
The clouds are ga­ther­ing o’er the waste;
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Flee to the ark of safe­ty now.

Refrain

Flee to the ark, O quick­ly fly;
The floods of death are draw­ing nigh;
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Flee to the ark of safe­ty now.

Refrain

Flee to the ark, why will ye die?
A wa­te­ry tomb is roll­ing high;
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Flee to the ark of safe­ty now.
