168. The Rock That Is Higher Than I

1 O, sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal,
And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul.

Refrain:
O, then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I;
O, then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.

2 O, sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow, how sweet! [Refrain]

3 O, near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale. [Refrain]
