'tis a cleft and a strong, sure defense Refrain First Line: For the Lord is our Rock and is mighty and strong Lyrics: 1 O the Rock! 'tis a cleft and a strong, sure defense From the dark gath'ring tempest so threat'ning and dense; In the Rock we are safe, we will suffer no fear, But in peace that is changeless, we rest sweetly here. Chorus: For the Lord is our Rock and is mighty and strong, And in Him we are safe--He's our help and our song, In the Rock we will rest till the storms all are past; He will guide thro' the gloom, He will guide thro' the gloom till the light dawns at last dawns at last. 2 O the Rock safely shields from the foes that surround, Tho' the perils are many, and tempters abound; In the Rock, all secure, from all harm we abide; Since He shields us and keeps us, no ill can betide. [Chorus] 3 O the Rock, blessed Rock, what a calm, blest retreat, We will rest in the Shade all secure from the heat; In the Rock we're contented, we're happy and free; Sinner, flee for thy life, O to this Refuge flee. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O the Rock! 'tis a cleft and a strong, sure defense]
