The Lord Is My Rock
Charles Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 89:26
Verse 1
Thou Rock of my salvation, haste, Extend Thine ample shade; And let it over me be cast, To screen my naked head.
Chorus
In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting, resting, resting; In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting; Sweetly resting in its shade.
Verse 2
Defend me in this trying hour; My sure protection be; My shelter from the tempest’s pow’r, Till I am fixed on Thee.
Chorus
In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting, resting, resting; In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting; Sweetly resting in its shade.
Verse 3
O set upon Thyself my feet, And make me surely stand! From fierce temptation’s rage and heat, Protect me with Thy hand.
Chorus
In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting, resting, resting; In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting; Sweetly resting in its shade.
Verse 4
Now let me in the cleft be placed, Nor my defence remove; Within Thine arms of love embraced, Thine arms of endless love.
Chorus
In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting, resting, resting; In the Rock’s blessed shadow, I am resting; Sweetly resting in its shade.
