Author: William O.Cushing, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #551 (1961) Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Scripture: Psalm 31:2 First Line: O safe to the Rock that is higher than I Lyrics: 1 O safe to the Rock that is higher than I
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;
So sinful, so weary, thine, thine would I be;
Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in thee.
Refrain:
Hiding in thee, hiding in thee -
Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in thee.
2 In the calm of the noon-tide, in sorrow's lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o'er me its power,
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in thee. [Refrain]
3 How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my refuge and breathed out my woe!
How oft when trials like sea-billows roll,
Have i hidden in thee, O thou Rock of my soul! [Refrain] Topics: Christ Refuge; Christian Life Communion with Christ; Faith In Christ; Trials Languages: English Tune Title: HIDING IN THEE
