Joy to the World ‎#2

2. 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 Mighty Rock, the pilgrim's home,
Refuge from the billow's foam,
Rock, by countless millions blest,
In thy shadow let me rest. [Refrain]

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