LyicsIf life's pleasures charm thee, give them not thy heart,
Lest the gift ensnare thee from thy God to part;
His favor seek, his praises keep,
Fix here your hope's foundation;
Serve him, and he will ever be
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation.
If distress befall thee, painful though it be,
Let not grief appall thee, to thy savior flee;
He, ever near, your prayer will hear,
And calm thy perturbation;
The waves of woe shall ne'er o'erflow
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation.
Dangers may approach thee, let them not alarm;
Christ will ever watch thee, and protect from harm.
He near thee stands, with mighty hands
To ward off each temptation;
To Jesus fly, he's ever nigh,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of they salvation.
Let not death alarm thee, shrink not from his blow,
For thy God shall arm thee, and victory bestow;
For death shall bring to thee no sting,
The grave no deolation;
'Tis gain to die, with Jesus nigh,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation,
The Rock of thy salvation.
