The Clefted Rock

Verse 1

In the clefted Rock I hide, Savior, let me here abide; Sheltered from each stormy gale, All secure within the vale.

Chorus

Blessed Rock, on Thee I build, Ever be my sun and shield; Help me labor, watch, and pray, Ready for the crowning day.

Verse 2

Tempest-tossed I came to Thee, Precious shelter made for me; Cleansed and purified from sin, Thou didst freely take me in.

Verse 3

When the surging billows roll, There’s a calm within my soul; While my trust in Thee is stayed, I shall never be afraid.

Verse 4

Rock of safety—blest abode, Hid away with Christ in God; Nothing can I want beside, For my soul is satisfied.

Verse 5

When this earthly house shall fall, And my days are numbered all, Then my house not made with hands, Evermore in glory stands.

Verse 6

Then, dear Jesus, keep me hid, That I e’er be found amid Choicest jewels of Thy care, When in glory I appear.
