Representative Text

1 Far above the swelling tide,
From life’s beating storms I hide,
Here by faith I will abide,
I am safe on the Rock of Ages.

Refrain:
I am safe on the Rock of Ages,
I am safe on the Rock of Ages,
Tho’ the wildest gale my retreat assail,
I am safe on the Rock of Ages.

2 Changing seasons come and go,
Surging billows ebb and flow,
Still abiding peace I know,
I am safe on the Rock of Ages. [Refrain]

3 This dear covert cleft for me,
Shall my welcome refuge be,
Throughout all eternity,
I am safe on the Rock of Ages. [Refrain]
