Author: Erastus Johnson Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #268 (2001) First Line: O sometimes the shadows are deep Refrain First Line: O then to the Rock let me fly Lyrics: 1 O sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal;
And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul!
Refrain:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I;
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I!
2 O sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow, how sweet! [Refrain]
3 O near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings or sorrow prevail;
Or climbing the mountainway steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale. [Refrain] Topics: Assurance; Security Languages: English Tune Title: ROCK OF REFUGE
The Rock That Is Higher Than I
