204. Hide Me Rock Of Ages

O thou blessed Rock of Ages, (Rock of Ages, I am) trusting now dear Lord in thee; (dear Lord in thee I'm trusting) Keep me till my journey's ended, (journey's ended keep me) till thy blessed face I see.

Hide me, O blest Rock of Ages, till thy blessed face I see; When the storm around me rages, Rock of Ages hide thou me.

2.

Keep me when the storm-clouds gather, (storm-clouds gather, keep me) till the sun comes shining thro'; (comes shining thro' the shadows) Keep me till my work is over, (work is over, keep me) till I bid this world adieu.

Hide me, O blest Rock of Ages, till thy blessed face I see; When the storm around me rages, Rock of Ages hide thou me.

3.

When my journey is completed, (is completed, Savior) and there's no more work to do; (no work to do, O blessed) Savior guide my weary spirit, (weary spirit, to that) happy land beyond the blue.

Hide me, O blest Rock of Ages, till thy blessed face I see; When the storm around me rages, Rock of Ages hide thou me.
