The Crowning Day ‎#90

90. Sheltered in the Rock of Ages

1 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Safe when storm and tempest rages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Strongest wave can harm me never,
Here my soul shall rest forever,
Safe, so safe am I.

Refrain:
Safely sheltered in the Rock,
Safe, so safe am I;
Safely sheltered in the Rock,
Safe, so safe am I.

2 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Safe when sin its death-strife wages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Swiftest shaft falls harmless, shattered,
Fiercest foeman’s forces scattered,
Safe, so safe am I. [Refrain]

3 Sheltered in the “Rock of Ages,”
Deep “His peace” which fear assuages,
Safe, so safe am I;
Kept secure from sorrow’s sadness,
Changeth heart-pain into gladness,
Safe, so safe am I. [Refrain]
