Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.557

First Line: In Thy cleft, O Rock of Ages, hide,

In Thy cleft, O Rock of Ages, hide
Thou me !
When the fitful tempest rages, hide Thou me !
Where no mortal arm can sever
From my heart Thy love for ever,
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages,
Safe in Thee !

2 From the snare of sinful pleasure,
hide Thou me !
Thou, my soul's eternal Treasure, hide Thou me !
When the world its power is wielding,
And my heart is almost yielding,
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages,
Safe in Thee !

3 In the lonely night of sorrow, hide
Thou me !
Till in glory dawns the morrow, hide Thou me !
When I'm nearing Jordan's billow,
Let Thy bosom be my pillow ;
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages,
Safe in Thee !
