A rest that will not fail;
A sure and certain anch’rage ground
In Christ within the vail.
Chorus:
O Rock of Ages cleft for me,
In Thee my soul securely hide;
My tow’r of strength, I fly to Thee,
And safely there abide.
2 I’ll hide me in this refuge strong,
From every stormy blast;
And sit and sing until the waves
Of wrath are over-past. [Chorus]
3 Ye comfort-less and tempest-tost,
By sins and woes opprest;
Ye tempted, troubled, ruined, lost,
Come find in Christ your rest. [Chorus]
4 Ye thirsty, from this smitten Rock,
Life’s crystal waters spring;
There hide from every stormy shock,
And rest, and drink, and sing. [Chorus] Topics: Dependence; Faith; Salvation Used With Tune: [My soul at last a rest hath found]
