1. In the rifted Rock I'm resting; Safely sheltered, I abide. There no foes nor storms molest me, While within the cleft I hide. 2. 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. 3. Peace which passeth understanding, Joy the world can never give, Now in Jesus I am finding; In His smiles of love I live. 4. 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. Chorus: Now I'm resting, sweetly resting, In the cleft once made for me. Jesus, blessed Rock of Ages, I will hide myself in Thee.
