The Rock of Ages
Lyrics by Fanny Crosby

There’s a Rock that stands like a tow’r sublime
That Rock is the Rock of Ages.
‘Til the pilgrims rest from the cares of time
Their hope is the Rock of Ages.

Oh build on the Rock,
The strong high Rock
Oh build on the Rock of Ages
We shall heed not the storm nor the thunder’s shock
While safe on the Rock of Ages

We will trust no more to that treacherous sand,
But flee to the Rock of Ages
We will build a house that forever shall stand,
A house on the Rock of Ages

Oh build on the Rock,
The strong high Rock
Oh build on the Rock of Ages
We shall heed not the storm nor the thunder’s shock
While safe on the Rock of Ages

Though the floods may come
And the winds may blow
Yet calm on the Rock, calm on the Rock
Calm on the Rock of Ages.
We'll sit and look on the waves below
Secure on the Rock of Ages

We will sing for joy in that dear retreat
Our home on the Rock of Ages
We will lay our souls at our Saviour’s feet
For He is the Rock of Ages

Oh build on the Rock,
The strong high Rock
Oh build on the Rock of Ages
We shall heed not the storm nor the thunder’s shock
While safe on the Rock of Ages

Oh build on the Rock,
The strong high Rock
Oh build on the Rock of Ages
We shall heed not the storm nor the thunder’s shock
While safe on the Rock of Ages

While safe on the Rock of Ages
