The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#283

283. In Thy Cleft, O Rock of Ages

1 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;
In the sight of Jordan's billow,
Let thy bosom be my pillow;
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages,
Safe in thee.
