Author: Mary D. James Hymnal: Christian Hymns #158 (1935) First Line: In the rifted Rock I'm resting Refrain First Line: Now I'm resting, sweetly resting Lyrics: 1 In the rifted Rock I’m resting,
Safely sheltered, I abide;
There no foes nor storms assail me,
While within the cleft I hide.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
3 Peace, which passeth understanding,
Joy, the world can never give,
Now in Jesus I am finding;
In His smiles of love I live. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
