The Rock Amid the Waves

There stands a Rock amid the waves

O ma­rin­er

be not af­raid;

When surg­es roll He sweet­ly saves:

In His dear name

be not afraid.

There is a Rock amid the waves

A migh­ty Rock amid the waves;

O

hal­le­lu­jah

how He saves

This bless­èd Rock amid the waves.

When clouds are dense around your bark

And when the wind in an­ger raves

Sail on and trust

nor fear the dark

There is a Rock amid the waves.

When wild winds rave and bil­lows roll

There’s safe­ty near the One who saves;

For ev­ery lov­ing

trust­ing soul

There is a Rock amid the waves.

Are you up­on the sea alone?

Friends gone whose love your sad heart craves?

He sees the tear­drops of His own

This bless­èd Rock amid the waves.

We’ll reach the har­bor some glad day

Where dwell the hosts He sweet­ly saves

Where all the tears are wiped away

By this great Rock among the waves.
