  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, Thou blest 'Rock of Ages,'
    I'm hiding in thee.
  2. In the calm of the noontide, 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 often, when trials like sea billows roll,
    Have I hid - den in thee, O thou Rock of my Soul
    Refrain
    Amen
