Stretching o'er a weary land,
Hide me from the tempest's shock,
Let me in thy shelter stand.
2 When they Presence, O my God,
Brighter is than I can see,
Shadow on the heavenward road,
Let me find my shade in thee.
3 Out of thee are shades of death,
Weary ways, and hours unblest;
Shadow of the Rock, beneath
Thee alone are joy and rest.
4 Till the race of life be run,
Till my soul in rest be laid,
God of gods, thou art my Sun;
Son of God, be thou my Shade!
"The Shadow of a Great Rock"
