Text: | The Rock that is Higher |
Author: | E. Johnson |
Tune: | [Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep] |
Composer: | W. G. Fischer, by Per |
1 Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal,
And sorrows, how often they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul.
Chorus:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
2 Oh, sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how heavy my feet;
But toiling in life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow, how sweet!
Chorus:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
3 Oh, near to the Rock let me keep,
Or blessings, or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale.
Chorus:
Then quick, to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
Then quick, to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
