Author: E. Johnson Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #240 (1938) First Line: O, sometimes the shadows are deep Refrain First Line: O, then to the Rock let me fly Lyrics: 1 O, sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal.
And sorrow, sometimes how they sweep,
Like tempests down over the soul.
Chorus:
O, then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I;
O, then, to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
2 O, sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life's dusty way.
The Rock's blessed shadow, how sweet! [Chorus]
3 O, near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings or sorrow prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale. [Chorus]
Languages: English Tune Title: [O, sometimes the shadows are deep]
