In the Shadow of the Rock

Verse 1

In the shadow of the Rock let me rest, When I feel the tempest’s shock thrill my breast, All in vain the storm shall sweep while I hide, And my tranquil vigil keep, by Thy side.

Chorus

In the shadow of the rock let me rest, In the shadow of the rock let me rest; When I feel the tempest's shock thrill my breast, In the shadow of the rock let me rest.

Verse 2

On the parch'd and desert way where I tread, With the scorching noontide ray o’er my head, Let me find a welcome shade, cool and still, And my weary steps be stayed by Thy will.

Verse 3

I in peace will rest me here till I see, That the skies again are fair over me, That the burning heats are past and the day, Bids the traveler at last go his way.
