14288. Hide Thou Me

1 Sometimes I feel discouraged,
And think my life in vain;
I’m tempted then to murmur,
And of my lot complain;
But when I think of Jesus,
And all He’s done for me,
Then I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me.

Refrain:
O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me,
No other refuge have I but Thee,
When life’s dark vale I wander,
Far, far from Thee;
Then I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me.

2 Sometimes it seems I dare not
Go one step farther on,
And from my heart all courage
Has slipped away and gone;
But, I remember Jesus,
And all His love for me,
Then I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me. [Refrain]

3 O what a friend is Jesus,
Sure anchor for my soul,
So tender, true and gracious,
I’m safe in His control.
My help in time of danger,
My strong defense is He,
O Thou blessed Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me. [Refrain]
