Lyics

MIGHTY Rock, whose tow'ring form

Looks above the frowning storm;

Rock amid the desert waste,

To Thy shadow now I haste.--REF.



Refrain.--Unto Thee, unto Thee,

	Precious Saviour, now I flee;

	"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

	Let me hide myself in Thee."



Of the springs that from Thee burst,

Let me drink and quench my thirst;

Weary, fainting, toil-oppress'd,

In Thy shadow let me rest.--REF.



When I near the stream of death,

When I feel its chilly breath,

Rock, where all my hopes abide,

In Thy shadow let me hide.--REF.
