82. In the Shadow of the Rock

1 In the shadow of the rock
Let me rest, let me rest,
When I feel the tempest’s shock
Thrill my breast;
All in vain the storm shall sweep.
While I hide, while I hide,
And my tranquil vigil keep,
By Thy side.

Chorus:
In the shadow of the rock I will fear no tempest’s shock,
In the shadow of the rock let me rest;
In the shadow of the rock I will fear no tempest’s shock,
In the shadow of the rock let me rest.

2 On the parched and desert way,
Where I tread, where I tread,
With the scorching noontide ray
O’er my head,
Let me find a welcome shade,
Cool and still, cool and still,
And my weary steps be stayed
Where I will. [Chorus]

3 I in peace will rest me here,
Till I see, till I see
That the skies again are fair
Over me;
That the burning hearts are passed,
And the day, and the day
Bids the traveler at last
Go his way. [Chorus]
