1 I am resting on the Rock that the storms can never move,
On the everlasting Rock of Ages;
What a blessing to my soul doth this refuge ever prove,
When the tempest round about me rages!

Chorus:
I am resting on the Rock that the storms can never move,
Safely sheltered on a strong foundation,
What a blessing to my soul doth this refuge ever prove,
Blessed be the Rock of my salvation!

2 I am resting where the waters of sin cannot o’erflow
Tho’ the billows raise their heads so steeply;
I am safe for I am trusting the one who loves me so,
And I know He has the pow’r to keep me! [Chorus]

3 Dark may be the sea of doubt but the sky of hope is clear,
I am resting on a firm foundation,
Nothing can my soul remove for I have my Saviour near,
Blessed be the Rock of my Salvation! [Chorus]
