Church Hymnal ‎#122

122. Hide Thou Me

1 Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work in vain,
I'm tempted oft to murmur, to grumble and complain;
But when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.

Chorus:
O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me,
There is no other refuge, Can save but Thee;
Thru this old world I wandered, So far, far from Thee,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.

2 I have a friend in Jesus blest anchor of the soul,
I feel His presence ever when stormy billows roll;
And when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me. [Chorus]

3 Sometimes I feel I cannot go one step farther on,
My body waxing older and falt'ring steps begun;
But when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me. [Chorus]
