Author: E. Johnson Hymnal: Calvary Songs #98 (1875) First Line: Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep Refrain First Line: O then to the Rock let me fly Lyrics: 1 Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal,
And sorrows sometimes how they sweep,
Like tempests down over the soul.
Oh, then, to the Rock let me fly, let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
Oh, then to the Rock let me fly, let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
2 Oh, sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow how sweet.
Oh, then, to the Rock let me fly, let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
Oh, then to the Rock let me fly, let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
3 Oh, near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings, or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale.
Then, quick to the Rock I can fly, I can fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
Then, quick to the Rock I can fly, I can fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I. Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep]
