In the Rock I’m Safely Resting

lyricist: Laura Newell, 1893
Composer: Hamlin Cogswell

In the Rock I’m safe­ly rest­ing

Storms may beat

and tem­pests rave

But se­cure I stand un­daunt­ed

Christ will shel­ter

He will save.

While the bil­lows in their fu­ry

Madly dash

and break­ers roar

Closer still I’ll cling to Je­sus

He’s my re­fuge ev­er­more.

In the Rock

the Rock Christ Je­sus

Firm I stand thro’ storm and sun

Naught on earth hath pow­er to harm me

’Till the vic­to­ry is won;

He is mine

I’m His for­ev­er

By His pre­sence I am blest;

He will guide me

gent­ly guide me

To the bliss­ful vales of rest.

In the bless­èd Rock I’m rest­ing

He’s the an­chor of my soul;

And tho’ lives are filled with ang­uish

Broken hearts doth He make whole.

Christ will bless and not for­sake me

He’s my com­fort and my stay;

With His ten­der hand so lov­ing

He doth wipe my tears away.

In the Rock I’m safe­ly rest­ing

Now the ev­en­ing sha­dows near

As a man­tle shroud my path­way

But I do not feel a fear;

He is mine

I’m His for­ev­er;

By His pre­sence I am blest

He will guide me

gent­ly guide me

To the bliss­ful isles of rest.
