1 In the shadow of the Rock
Let me rest, let me rest,
When I feel the tempest shock
Thrill my breast, thrill my breast;
All in vain the storm shall sweep
While I hide, while I hide,
And my tranquil station keep
By thy side, by thy side.

2 On the parched and desert way
Where I tread, where I tread,
With the noontide, scorching ray
O'er my head, o'er my head,
Let me find the welcome shade
Cool and still, cool and still,
And my weary steps be stayed
Where I will, where I will.

3 I in peace will rest me there
Till I see, till I see
That the skies again are fair
Over me, over me;
That the burning heats are past,
And the day, and the day
Bids the weary one at last
Go his way, go his way.

4 Then my pilgrim staff I'll take,
And once more, and once more
I'll my onward journey make,
As before, as before;
And with joyous heart and strong
I will raise, I will raise
Unto thee, O Rock, a song
Glad with praise, glad with praise.
