There no foes nor storms assail me, while within the cleft I hide. Refrain: Now I’m resting, sweetly resting, in the cleft once made for me. Jesus, blessed Rock of ages, I will hide myself in thee. 2 Long pursued by sin and Satan, weary, sad, I longed for rest. Then I found this heav’nly shelter, opened in my Savior’s breast. [Refrain] 3 Peace which passeth understanding, joy the world can never give, now in Jesus, I am finding; in his smiles of love I live. [Refrain] 4 In the rifted Rock I’ll hide me, till the storms of life are past, all secure in this blest refuge, heeding not the fiercest blast. [Refrain] 1 Wehrlos und verlassen sehnt sich oft mein Herz nach stiller Ruh’; doch du deckest mit dem Fittich deiner Liebe sanft mich zu. Refrain: Unter Deinem sanften Fittich find’ ich Frieden, Trost und Ruh’; denn Du schirmest mich so freundlich, schützest mich und deckst mich zu. 2 Drückt mich Kummer, Müh’ und Sorge, meine Zuflucht bist nur Du, rettest mich aus allen Ängsten, tröstest mich und deckst mich zu. [Refrain] 3 Sicher bin ich und geborgen, denn bei dir ist sü-ße Ruh’; mag es auch im Leben stürmen, Herr, dein Fittich deckt mich zu.
