The Lord's our rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm; Secure whatever ill betide, A shelter in the time of storm.

Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.

A shade by day, defense by night, A shelter in the time of storm; No fears alarm, no fears affright, A shelter in the time of storm.

Chorus

Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.

The raging storms may round us beat, A shelter in the time of storm; We'll never leave our safe retreat, A shelter in the time of storm.

Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.

O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, A shelter in the time of storm; Be Thou our helper ever near, A shelter in the time of storm.

Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.
