In Thy cleft, O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me ! When the fitful tempest rages, hide Thou me ! Where no mortal arm can sever From my heart Thy love for ever, Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, Safe in Thee !
2. From the snare of sinful pleasure, hide Thou me ! Thou, my soul's eternal Treasure, hide Thou me ! When the world its power is wielding, And my heart is almost yielding, Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, Safe in Thee !
3. In the lonely night of sorrow, hide Thou me ! Till in glory dawns the morrow, hide Thou me ! When I'm nearing Jordan's billow, Let Thy bosom be my pillow ; Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, Safe in Thee !
