Oh, the cleft of the Rock, Where my soul may hide, While the storms of life are raging, And the billows roll o'er the tide.

There is peace for the soul that hideth In the Rock that is higher than I, For the soul that only confideth And the cleft of the Rock will try.

Oh, the cleft of the Rock, Where my soul may hide, While the storms of life are raging, And the billows roll o'er the tide.

Oh, soul, thou who now art weary, To the Rock do come for rest, Come to Him who only can cheer thee, To the dear loving Saviour's breast.

Oh, the cleft of the Rock, Where my soul may hide, While the storms of life are raging, And the billows roll o'er the tide.
