Author: William O. Cushing Hymnal: Timeless Truths #216 Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Scripture: Psalm 143:9 First Line: O safe to the Rock that is higher than I Refrain First Line: Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee Lyrics: 1 O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;
Alone I would perish, undone would I be;
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
Refrain:
Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
2 In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o’er me its pow’r;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee. [Refrain]
3 How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll,
Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul. [Refrain] Tune Title: SANKEY
