1 I will cling to the Rock,
I will cling to the Rock,
When the waves of temptation shall roll;
To the Rock of Ages clinging,
safe and happy I am singing,
And no storm shall shake my soul.

Refrain:
I am clinging to the Rock,
I am clinging to the Rock,
When sorrow’s waves dash high;
Let the raging billows mock,
I am clinging to the Rock,
To the “Rock that is higher than I.”

2 I will cling to the Rock,
I will cling to the Rock,
There is no other refuge for me;
Tho’ by danger so surrounded,
I shall never be confounded,
For the Rock my stay shall be. [Refrain]

3 I will cling to the Rock,
I will cling to the Rock,
And my joy everlasting shall be,
That in realms of brightest glory,
I shall sing salvation’s story
Where there shall be no more sea. [Refrain]
