Firm as a rock, that in the mighty ocean Hurls back the waves, and with majestic form, Grand and sublime, amid their wild commotion Heeds not the tempest nor the raging storm.
Firm as a rock ! no power shall cleave asunder, Though lightnings flash and thunders loudly roar; So will we trust in Him, our great Redeemer---- Jesus, our hiding-place, for evermore !
2. Firm as a rock, that in the thirsty desert Veils like a cloud the noontide's burning ray, While with delight the worn and weary traveller Turns to its shadow from his lonely way.
3. Firm as a rock, though surges dash around us ! Firm as a rock, though trials dark may fall ! Yet shall we cling to Him, the Rock of Ages, Jesus, the Holy One, our All in All !
4. Firm as a rock, when earthly scenes are waning ! Firm as a rock, when Jordan's billows roll ! Firm as a rock, we'll rest upon His promise ! Jesus, the Refuge of the weary soul !
