Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
O, sometimes the shadows are deep, And rough seems the path to the goal; And sorrows sometimes how they sweep Like tempests down over the soul.
Verse 2
O, sometimes how long seems the day, and sometimes how weary 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, If blessings or sorrows prevail; Or climbing the mountain way steep, Or walking the shadowy vale.
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.
