7861. In The Rock I'm Safely Resting

1 In the Rock I’m safely resting,
Storms may beat, and tempests rave,
But secure I stand undaunted,
Christ will shelter, He will save.
While the billows in their fury
Madly dash, and breakers roar,
Closer still I’ll cling to Jesus,
He’s my refuge evermore.

Refrain:
In the Rock, the Rock Christ Jesus,
Firm I stand thro’ storm and sun,
Naught on earth hath power to harm me,
’Till the victory is won;
He is mine, I’m His forever,
By His presence I am blest;
He will guide me, gently guide me,
To the blissful vales of rest.

2 In the blessèd Rock I’m resting,
He’s the anchor of my soul;
And tho’ lives are filled with anguish,
Broken hearts doth He make whole.
Christ will bless and not forsake me,
He’s my comfort and my stay;
With His tender hand so loving,
He doth wipe my tears away. [Refrain]

3 In the Rock I’m safely resting,
Now the evening shadows near,
As a mantle shroud my pathway,
But I do not feel a fear;
He is mine, I’m His forever;
By His presence I am blest,
He will guide me, gently guide me
To the blissful isles of rest. [Refrain]
