“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Ps. 61. 2

1 When overwhelmed with doubts and fear,
  Great God, do thou my spirit cheer;
  Let not my eyes with tears be fed,
  But to the Rock of Ages led.

2 When guilt lies heavy on my soul,
  And waves of fierce temptation roll,
  I’d to this Rock for shelter flee,
  And make my refuge, Lord, in thee.

3 When sick, or faint, or sore dismayed,
  Then let my hopes on thee be stayed;
  Thy summit rising to the skies,
  Can shield my head when dangers rise.

4 When called the vale of death to tread,
  Then to this Rock may I be led.
  Nor fear to cross that gloomy sea,
  Since thou hast tasted death for me.
