"Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength." (The Rock of Ages.) -Isa. 26:4.
Rest in the Rock of Ages-
In Life's eternal Word
Rest, through time's passing stages,
In Christ, the faithful Lord.
Rest on thy Savior's promise,
O helpless, weary child;
Trust in His tender, Shepherd care
To bear thee o'er the wild.
Where should the dove be shelter'd
Save in the riven Rock?
The Hiding-place, where God's own power
Secures from every shock,
What though the tempest rages?
What though the wild waves foam?
Safe in the Rock of Ages
Dwell-as thy spirit's home.
High o'er the highest billows
Thy God, thy Savior reigns;
His hand controls all creature things,
His hand thy soul sustains,
Rest in the Rock of Ages,
In God, forever blest;
Eternal love maintains thy lot-
Rest, then, in Jesus rest.
