If Life’s Pleasures Charm You, Give Them Not Your Heart,
Lest The Gift Ensnare You From Your God To Part;
His Favour Seek, His Praises Speak;
Fix Here Your Hope’s Foundation;
Serve Him, And He Will Ever Be
The Rock Of Your Salvation.
If Distress Befall You, Painful Though It Be,
Let Not Grief Appall You—To Your Saviour Flee;
He Ever Near, Your Prayer Will Hear,
And Calm Your Perturbation;
The Waves Of Woe Shall Ne’er Overflow
The Rock Of Your Salvation.
When Earth’s Prospects Fail You, Let It Not Distress,
Better Comforts Wait You—Christ Will Surely Bless;
To Jesus Flee—Your Prop He’ll Be,
Your Heavenly Consolation;
For Griefs Below Can Not Overthrow
The Rock Of Your Salvation.
Dangers May Approach You; Let Them Not Alarm;
Christ Will Ever Watch You, And Protect From Harm,
He Near You Stands, With Mighty Hands
To Ward Off Each Temptation;
To Jesus Fly; He’s Ever Nigh,
The Rock Of Your Salvation.
Let Not Death Alarm You, Shrink Not From His Blow;
For Your God Shall Arm You, And Victory Bestow,
For Death Shall Bring To You No Sting,
The Grave No Desolation:
’Tis Sweet To Die With Jesus Nigh,
The Rock Of Your Salvation.
