Author: Mrs. C. N. Pickop Hymnal: Showers of Blessing #78 (1888) First Line: Jesus, the rock on which my feet Refrain First Line: Jesus, the rock, I cling to thee Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the rock on which my feet
May safely and securely stand,
While all around me sinks and falls,
And scatters like the crumbling sand.
Refrain:
Jesus, the rock, I cling to thee,
Tho’ waves and billows ‘round me roll;
Jesus my hope, my only plea,
The stay and comfort of my soul.
2 Jesus, the rock on which I build,
The sure foundation, true and tried;
Bright star of hope for ruined man,
Is Jesus Christ, the crucified! [Refrain]
3 Jesus, the rock stands firm secure,
Unyielding, tho’ the storms may beat;
In this sure trust I anchor fast,
And find a blessed safe retreat. [Refrain]
4 Jesus, the rock, blest Saviour, thou
Art all I want, and all I crave;
I trust in thee, for well I know
Thy mighty power alone can save. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jesus, the rock on which my feet]
