Lyrics
Verse 1
There is a place of refuge For ev‘ry troubled soul where tempests beat no longer, Where billows cease to roll; A calm and quiet haven, A harbor safe and blest, Where storm-tossed barques may anchor, Where weary hearts may rest.
Verse 2
There, heavy loads are lifted; There, myst’ries dark grow plain; There, pain and care forgetting, Sad faces smile again; There broken lives find healing; There, sorrow’s tears are dried; There, all the soul’s deep longings Are fully satisfied.
Verse 3
There, One is always with us, The Friend all friends above, The Christ who died to save us, Whom, though not seen, we love; O precious, precious Refuge! How dark this world would be If, when its woes o’er-take us, We could not hide in Thee.
Chorus
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
