O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows
would fly;
So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine, would I be;
Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in Thee.
Refrain
Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest
"Rock of Ages,"
I'm hiding in Thee.
In the calm of the noontide,
in sorrow's lone hour,
In times when
temptation
casts over me its power;
In the tempests of life, on its
wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in Thee.
Refrain
How oft in the conflict,
when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my refuge
and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll,
Have
I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.
Refrain
