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.
5 This Rock is high, mount up with speed, You Canaan may espy; If you by Faith ascend this Rock, To you it will seem nigh.
