To The Rock
Verse 1
O! sometimes the shadows are deep, And rough seems the path to the goal, And sorrows, how often they sweep, Like tempests, down over the soul!
Chorus
O then to the Rock let me fly, To the Rock that is higher than I, O then to the Rock let me fly, To the Rock that is higher than I.
Verse 2
O! sometimes so long seems the day, And sometimes so heavy my feet; But, toiling in life' s dusty way, The Rock' s blessed shadow how sweet!
Verse 3
O! near to the Rock let me keep, Or blessings or sorrows prevail, Or climbing the mountainway steep, Or walking the shadowy vale.
