The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#45

45. Rock that is Higher

1 Here do I come to thy shelter today,
Weary and burdened and her will I pray;
Let me accept the sweet comfort I may,
O Rock that is higher than I.

Refrain:
Saviour, Saviour,
Unto thy shelter I fly,
Thou art my Rock, my sheltering Rock;
Rock that is higher, higher than I.

2 Help me to find fainting pilgrims for thee,
Leading them also thy comfort to see,
Finding the peace thou hast granted to me,
O Rock that is higher than I. [Refrain]

3 Blessing hast thou on the pilgrimage road,
Cheering the way to a brighter abode,
Where there is joy everlasting bestowed,
O Rock that is higher than I. [Refrain]
