Representative Text

1 O my loving’ sister, when the world’s on fire,
Don’t you want God’s bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the Rock of Ages,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

2 O my loving’ brother, when the world’s on fire,
Don’t you want God’s bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the Rock of Ages,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

3 O my poor mourner, when the world’s on fire,
Don’t you want God’s bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the Rock of Ages,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

4 O ye congregation, when the world’s on fire,
Don’t you want God’s bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the Rock of Ages,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
