Author: Ernest Geo. Wesley Hymnal: The Crowning Day #90 (1894) First Line: Sheltered in the "Rock of Ages" Refrain First Line: Safely sheltered in the Rock Lyrics: 1 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Safe when storm and tempest rages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Strongest wave can harm me never,
Here my soul shall rest forever,
Safe, so safe am I.
Refrain:
Safely sheltered in the Rock,
Safe, so safe am I;
Safely sheltered in the Rock,
Safe, so safe am I.
2 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Safe when sin its death-strife wages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Swiftest shaft falls harmless, shattered,
Fiercest foeman’s forces scattered,
Safe, so safe am I. [Refrain]
3 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Deep “His peace” which fear assuages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Kept secure from sorrow’s sadness,
Changeth heart-pain into gladness,
Safe, so safe am I. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages”]
