Sheet music

  1. 1O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine, would I be;Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee.Hiding in Thee, Hiding in Thee,Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee.
  2. 2In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour,In times when temptation casts o’er me its pow’r;In tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee.Hiding in Thee, Hiding in Thee,Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee.
  3. 3How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;How often, when trials like sea billows roll,Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.Hiding in Thee, Hiding in Thee,Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee.
