Lead Me to the Rock

When mount­ains of doubt

Hem me in on each side

And waves of af­flict­ion

Roll in like a tide;

When vain­ly I seek

Some new path­way to try

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.

Oh

lead me to the Rock

Oh

lead me to the Rock

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I

Oh

lead me to the Rock

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.

When storms of deep trou­ble

Rage fierce­ly around

When fore­bod­ings of ill

In my spir­it abound;

When the hopes of a life­time

Are blight­ed and die

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.

The sun of pros­per­ity

Brightly may shine

And my heart round its trea­sures

Too close­ly may twine

When my hopes are in dan­ger

Of ris­ing too high

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.

When near­ing the shore

Of the riv­er of death

And the mo­ments fly swift­ly

With each la­bored breath

When los­ing my hold

Of each dear earth­ly tie

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.

Whatever my lot

Be it wea­ri­ly sad

Or ac­tive­ly bu­sy

Or joy­ous­ly glad;

In each joy and sor­row

My God

be Thou nigh

Oh

lead me to the Rock

That is high­er than I.
