In the rifted rock I'm resting, safely sheltered I abide. There no foes nor storms harmess me, while within the cleft I hide. Now I'm resting, sweetly resting, in the cleft once made for me.
Jesus blessed rock of ages, I will hide myself in thee. Long pursued by sin and Satan, weary, sad, I long for rest. Then I found this heavenly shelter, opened in my Savior's breast.
Now I'm resting, sweetly resting, in the cleft once made for me. Jesus blessed rock of ages, I will hide myself in thee. Means which passeth understanding, joy the world can never give.
