Sometimes I feel dis­cour­aged,
And think my life in vain;
I’m tempt­ed then to mur­mur,
And of my lot com­plain;
But when I think of Je­sus,
And all He’s done for me,
Then I cry, O Rock of Ag­es,
Hide Thou me.

Refrain

O Rock of Ag­es, hide Thou me,
No other re­fuge have I but Thee,
When life’s dark vale I wan­der,
Far, far from Thee;
Then I cry, O Rock of Ag­es,
Hide Thou me.

Sometimes it seems I dare not
Go one step far­ther on,
And from my heart all cour­age
Has slipped away and gone;
But, I re­mem­ber Je­sus,
And all His love for me,
Then I cry, O Rock of Ag­es,
Hide Thou me.

Refrain

O what a friend is Je­sus,
Sure an­chor for my soul,
So ten­der, true and gra­cious,
I’m safe in His con­trol.
My help in time of dan­ger,
My strong de­fense is He,
O Thou bless­èd Rock of Ag­es,
Hide Thou me.
