105. Hiding in Thee

1 O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul, like a bird that is wounded, would fly;
So sinful, so weary, O thine would I be;
Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in thee.

Refrain:
Hiding in thee, hiding in thee,
Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in thee.

2 In the calm of the noon-tide, in sorrow's lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o'er me its power;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
O blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in thee. [Refrain]

3 How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my refuge and breathed out my woe;
How oft when my trials like billows would roll,
I have hidden in thee, O thou Rock of my soul! [Refrain]
