Text:Christ the Rock
Author:W. Gadsby

551. Christ the Rock

1 Jesus Christ, the sinner’s Friend,
Loves his people to the end;
And that they may safe abide,
He’s the Rock in which they hide.

2 As a rock, he guards them well
From the rage of sin and hell.
Such a rock is Christ to me,
I am safe, though thousands flee!

3 Sheltered in his wounded side,
Now no ill can me betide;
From the tempest covered o’er;
One with him for evermore.
