17038. The Shadow Of The Rock

1 In a weary land I wander,
And with faltering steps I walk;
But I soon shall rest up yonder
In the shadow of the Rock.

Refrain:
In the shadow of the Rock,
In the shadow of the Rock,
I will soon be resting yonder
In the shadow of the Rock.

2 Here my toils are unabating,
And rude cares about me mock;
But my rest is yonder waiting,
In the shadow of the Rock. [Refrain]

3 In these pastures fair and vernal,
With my Shepherd’s chosen flock
I shall feast on joys eternal
In the shadow of the Rock. [Refrain]

4 By these waters gently flowing,
I shall fear no tempest’s shock,
And no want or grief be knowing,
In the shadow of the Rock. [Refrain]

5 So with patient faith I’ll wander,
And with loving trust will walk,
For I’ll soon be resting yonder
In the shadow of the Rock. [Refrain]
