O Safe to the Rock

Verse 1

Oh, 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.

Verse 2

In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o’er me its power;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I’m hiding in Thee.

Verse 3

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.
