3074. Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land

Refrain:
Jesus is a rock in a weary land,
a weary land, a weary land;
My Jesus is a rock in a weary land,
a shelter in the time of storm.

1 No one can do like Jesus,
Not a mumbling word he said:
he went walking down to Lazarus’ grave,
And He raised him from the dead. [Refrain]

2 When Jesus was on earth
the flesh was very weak;
he took a towel and girded himself
And washed his disciples feet. [Refrain]

3 Yonder comes my Savior,
him whom I love so well;
He has the palm of victory
and the key of death and Hell. [Refrain]
