Show Me the Rock

lyricist: William Landon, 1886
Composer: John Sweney

Savior

break this heart of mine

Melt it now with love di­vine;

Only Thou my help must be

Only Thou canst set me free.

Out of the deep and mi­ry clay

Take me away

oh

take me away;

Show me the Rock

O Lord

I pray

Rock of eter­nal ag­es.

Bend Thine ear and hear my cry

Leave me not in sin to die;

This my hope

my on­ly plea―

Thou didst come to res­cue me.

Reach Thy hand and lift my soul

From the wav­es that o’er me roll;

Where for re­fuge can I flee?

Lord

I per­ish; save Thou me.

Save me now and ev­er­more;

Lord

I would Thy name ado­re;

Hide my tremb­ling soul in Thee;

Lord

I per­ish

save Thou me.
