Jesus the Rock

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]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Jesus, the rock on which my feet]" in Showers of Blessing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
