189. Hide Thou Me

Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my life in vain; I’m tempted then to murmur, and of my lot complain; 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.'

2.

Sometimes it seems I dare not go one step farther on, 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.'

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.'

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, ‘O thou blessed 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.'
