1 The Rock of Ages Lord thou art, On thee we do depend; Upon this Rock let us be built, And then let Rains descend:
1 THe Rock of Ages Lord thou art, On thee we do depend; Ʋpon this Rock let us be built, And then let Rains descend:
2 Let Floods rise high, and let Storms beat We shall securely stand, Whilst others Fall, Lord, will be great, Who build upon the Sand.
3 O in this Rock let us be hid, And then we will not fear; ⟨p. 75⟩Though Seas do swell, and Waves do roar, And dangers great are near.
4 In this sweet Rock we Honey find, And living Waters flow; This Rock likewise does Jewels sweat, Here's golden Mines also.
