Lord, Thou art my rock of strength

Verse 1

Lord, Thou art my Rock of Strength, And my home is in Thine arms; Thou wilt send me help at length, And I feel no wild alarms. Sin nor death can pierce the shield, Thy defence has o’er me thrown; Up to Thee myself I yield, And my sorrows are Thine own.

Verse 2

When my trials tarry long, Unto Thee I look and wait, Knowing none, tho’ keen and strong, Can my trust in Thee abate. And this faith I long have nurs’d Comes alone, O God, from Thee; Thou my heart didst open first, Thou didst set this hope in me.

Verse 3

Let thy mercy’s wings be spread O’er me, keep me close to Thee; In the peace Thy love doth shed Let me dwell eternally. Be my all; in all I do, Let me only seek Thy will. Where the heart to Thee is true, All is peaceful, calm and still.
