The Blessèd Rock of Ages

On the bless­èd Rock of Ag­es

In calm or tide

Always in that sac­red shel­ter

Let me abide.

Trusting on­ly in its keep­ing

Naught else to see

Ever on the Rock of Ag­es

Lord

hold Thou me.

Lord

hold Thou me

Lord

hold Thou me

Ever on the Rock of Ag­es

Lord

hold Thou me.

On the bless­èd Rock of Ag­es

Nor drawn away

By the ma­ny lights al­lur­ing

O keep

I pray!

And if swept by sor­row’s te­mpest

My strength shall flee

Father

on the Rock of Ag­es

O hold Thou me.

On the bless­èd Rock of Ag­es

When comes the call;

Not to jour­ney

’tis but pass­ing

One step is all.

Only that I may be rea­dy

Thy face to see

O upon the Rock of Ag­es

Lord

hold Thou me.
