The Higher Rock Lyrics

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

Lead me to the rock that's higher
Than the rock poor self can show
Lead me to its perfect shelter
The strong tower from every foe
Yes, the higher rock so towering
Gives, amid life's rudest storms
Perfect refuge, surest safety
Sweetest rest amid alarms
'Tis the higher rock that gives me
Faith's glad strength for every hour
Oh to measure all its gladness
All its preciousness of power

'Tis the higher rock sustains me
Joyously from day to day
Lifting heart, and soul, and spirit
To the purer, holier way
'Tis the higher rock that saves me
'Tis the higher rock I've found
Where abide the crowning graces
Faith and hope and love abound

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

So will I sing praises to Thee
For Thy wondrous power to save
Daily 'neath Thy shadow resting
Till the victor's palm I wave

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me
