1 Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work in vain,
I'm tempted oft to murmur, to grumble and complain;
But when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.
Chorus:
O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me,
There is no other refuge, Can save but Thee;
Thru this old world I wandered, So far, far from Thee,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.
2 I have a friend in Jesus blest anchor of the soul,
I feel His presence ever when stormy billows roll;
And when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me. [Chorus]
3 Sometimes I feel I cannot go one step farther on,
My body waxing older and falt'ring steps begun;
But when I think of Jesus and what He bore for me,
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages, hide Thou me. [Chorus]
Church Hymnal #1221 Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my life in vain,

But when I think of Jesus, and all He’s done for me,
Then, I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou Me.

O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou Me,
No other Refuge, have I but Thee,
When life’s dark vale I wander,
Far, far from Thee;
Then I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me.

And from my heart all courage has slipped away and gone;
But, I remember Jesus, and all His love for me,
Then, I cry, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou Me. [Chorus]
3 O what a Friend is Jesus, sure Anchor for my soul,
So tender, true and gracious, I’m safe in His control.
My help in time of danger, my strong defense is He,

Hide Thou Me. [Chorus]
