1 There stands a Rock on shores of time,
That rears to heav'n its head sublime;
That Rock is cleft, and they are blest
Who find within this cleft a rest;
Chorus:
Some build their hopes on the ever-drifting sand,
Some on their fame or their treasure or their land;
Mine’s on a Rock that forever will stand,
Jesus, the "Rock of Ages."
2 That Rock's a cross, its arms outspread,
Celestial glory bathes its head;
To its firm base my all I bring,
And to the cross of Ages cling. [Chorus]
3 That Rock’s a tow'r, whose lofty height,
Illumed with heav'n's unclouded light,
Opes wide its gate beneath the dome,
Where saints find rest with Christ at home. [Chorus]
