He Is My Rock

Representative Text

1 If thy path is like night,
Then trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;
You must stand for the right,
And trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;

Refrain:
For he is our rock, for he is our rock,
For he is our rock and salvation.

2 If thy journey is long,
Then trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;
Cheer the heart with a song,
And trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation; [Refrain]

3 If thy burdens bear down,
Then trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;
Let the world see no frown,
But trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation; [Refrain]

4 If thy substance doth wane,
Then trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;
There’s no labor in vain,
So trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation; [Refrain]

5 There is strength for each day,
So trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation;
Do not turn from the way,
But trust in the Lord,
For he is our rock and salvation; [Refrain]
