Christian Hymns ‎#218

218. Rock in the Desert

1 O Rock in the desert, I fly unto Thee,
When tempest and storms sweep my sky,
I hide in the cleft that was riven for me,
For safety on Thee I reply.

Chorus:
O Rock in the desert, I'm hiding in Thee,
Till the storms of life's journey are past;
Thou Rock of my refuge, my soul safely keep,
O receive it in heaven at last.

2 O Rock in the desert, my refuge and all,
I hide in my weakness in Thee;
Thy love is a shield and I find sweet repose,
Where grace is abundant and free. [Chorus]

3 O Rock in the desert that gives perfect peace,
That bringeth a joy to my soul;
I rest in Thy shadow, I hide in Thy clef,
Thy love does my spirit control. [Chorus]
