99. The rifted rock

1 In the Rifted Rock I'm resting,
Sure and safe from all alarm;
Storms and billows have united
All in vain to do me harm;
In the Rifted Rock I'm resting,
Surf is dashing at my feet,
Storm-clouds dark are o'er me hov'ring,
Yet my rest is all complete.

Chorus:
In the Rifted Rock I'm resting,
Sure and safe from all alarms,
Storms and billows have united
All in vain to do me harm.

2 Many a stormy sea I've traversed,
Many a tempest-shock have known,
Have been driven, without anchor,
On the barren shores, and lone;
Where my soul is safe forever,
In the blessed Rifted Rock,
Where my soul is safe forever,
In the blessed Rifted Rock. [Chorus]
