17. In the Cleft of the Rock

1 High as the mountain tho' the billows roll,
In Jesus' keeping I will trust my soul;
He can the raging seas and wind control,
In the cleft of the Rock He will hide me.

Refrain:
Hide me, safely hide me,
Hide me, safely hide me,
Hide me from all danger,
In the Rock that was cleft for me.

2 O soul, be faithful; to the end endure,
Trusting His promises forever suer;
Kept in the fortress of His love secure,
In the cleft of the Rock He will hide me. [Refrain]

3 When thro' the Jordan I must take my way,
His staff will comfort me and be my stay;
Over the river there is endless day,
In the cleft of the Rock He will hide me. [Refrain]
