And rough seems the path to the goal;
And sorrows, how often they sweep,
Like tempests, down over the soul!
Refrain:
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I;
O then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
2 O sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how heavy my feet!
But, toiling in life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow, how sweet! [Refrain]
3 O near to the Rock let me keep,
Or blessings or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 61:2 Used With Tune: [O sometimes the shadows are deep]
The Rock that is Higher
