Bethany Hymns ‎#73

73. In the Shadow of the Rock

1 In a dreary land I wander,
And with falt’ring steps I walk;
But I’ll soon be resting yonder
In the shadow of the Rock.

Chorus:
In the shadow of the Rock,
In the shadow of the Rock;
I will soon be resting yonder,
In the shadow of the Rock.

2 Let me go where my Redeemer
Has prepared for me sweet rest;
In the golden home up yonder,
To the mansions of the blest. [Chorus]

3 So with patient faith I’ll wander,
And with loving heart I’ll walk;
I will soon be resting yonder
In the shadow of the Rock. [Chorus]

4 Let me go, my soul is weary
Of the chains which rudely mock;
I’ll be resting over yonder
In the shadow of the Rock. [Chorus]
