In The Rifted Rock I’m Resting,
Safely Sheltered I Abide;
There No Foes Nor Storms Molest Me,
While Within The Cleft I Hide.
Now I’m Resting, Sweetly Resting,
In The Cleft Once Made For Me;
Jesus, Blessed Rock Of Ages,
I Will Hide Myself In Thee.
Long Pursued By Sin And Satan,
Weary, Sad, I Longed For Rest;
Then I Found This Heavenly Shelter
Opened In My Savior’s Breast.
Peace Which Passeth Understanding,
Joy The World Can Never Give,
Now In Jesus I Am Finding,
In His Smiles Of Love I Live.
In The Rifted Rock I’ll Hide Me,
Till The Storms Of Life Are Past;
All Secure In This Blest Refuge,
Heeding Not The Fiercest Blast.
