The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#94

94. Cleft for Me

1 Mighty Rock, whose towering form
Looks above the frowning storm;
Rock, amid the desert waste,
To thy shadow now I haste.

Refrain:
Unto thee, unto thee,
Precious Savior, now I flee;
"Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee."

2 Of the springs that from thee burst,
Let me drink and quench my thirst;
Weary, fainting, toil-oppressed,
In thy shadow let me rest. [Refrain]

3 When I near the stream of death,
When I feel its chilly breath,
Rock, where all my hopes abide,
In thy shadow let me hide. [Refrain]
