O Rock of Ages

Horace L. Hastings • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 26:4

Verse 1

My soul at last a rest hath found, A rest that will not fail; A sure and certain anchorage ground In Christ within the vail.

Chorus

O Rock of Ages cleft for me, In Thee my soul securely hide; My tower of strength, I fly to Thee, And safely there abide.

Verse 2

I’ll hide me in this refuge strong, From every stormy blast; And sit and sing until the waves Of wrath are over-past.

Chorus

O Rock of Ages cleft for me, In Thee my soul securely hide; My tower of strength, I fly to Thee, And safely there abide.

Verse 3

Ye comfortless and tempest-tossed, By sins and woes opprest; Ye tempted, troubled, ruined, lost, Come find in Christ your rest.

Chorus

O Rock of Ages cleft for me, In Thee my soul securely hide; My tower of strength, I fly to Thee, And safely there abide.

Verse 4

Ye thirsty, from this smitten Rock, Life’s crystal waters spring; There hide from every stormy shock, And rest, and drink, and sing.

Chorus

O Rock of Ages cleft for me, In Thee my soul securely hide; My tower of strength, I fly to Thee, And safely there abide.
