Oh, safe to the Rock that is higher than I

lyricist: William Orcutt Cushing
Composer: Ira David Sankey

Oh

safe to the Rock that is higher than I

My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly

So sinful

so weary

Thine

Thine would I be

Thou blest Rock of Ages

I’m hiding in Thee.

Hiding in Thee

hiding in Thee

Thou blest Rock of Ages

I’m hiding in Thee.

In the calm of the noontide

in sorrow’s lone hour

In times when temptation casts o’er me its power;

In the tempests of life

on its wide

heaving sea

Thou blest Rock of Ages

I’m hiding in Thee.

How oft in the conflict

when pressed by the foe

I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe

How often

when trials like sea-billows roll

Have I hidden in Thee

O Thou Rock of my soul.
