When overwhelmed with doubts and fear,
Great God do Thou my spirit cheer;
Let not mine eyes with tears be fed,
But to the Rock of Ages led.
When storms of sin and sorrow beat,
Lead me to this divine retreat;
Thy perfect righteousness and blood,
My rock, my Fortress and my God.
When guilt lies heavy on my soul,
And waves of fierce temptation roll;
I'll to the Rock for shelter flee,
And take my refuge, Lord, in Thee.
When called the vale of Death to tread,
Then to this Rock may I be lead;
Nor fear to cross that gloomy sea,
Since Thou has tasted death for me.
