In the rifted Rock I'm resting

In the rifted Rock I�m resting;
Safely sheltered, I abide.
There no foes nor storms molest me,
While within the cleft I hide.

Refrain

Now I�m resting, sweetly resting,
In the cleft once made for me.
Jesus, bless�d Rock of Ages,
I will hide myself in Thee.

Long pursued by sin and Satan,
Weary, sad, I longed for rest.
Then I found this heav�nly shelter,
Opened in my Savior�s breast.

Refrain

Peace which passeth understanding,
Joy the world can never give,
Now in Jesus I am finding;
In His smiles of love I live.

Refrain

In the rifted Rock I�ll hide me
Till the storms of life are past;
All secure in this blest refuge,
Heeding not the fiercest blast.
