Lyrics

O my bro­ther, do you know the Sav­ior,
Who is won­drous kind and true?
He’s the Rock of your sal­va­tion!
There’s ho­ney in the Rock for you.

Refrain

Oh, there’s ho­ney in the Rock, my brother,
There’s ho­ney in the Rock for you;
Leave your sins for the blood to co­ver,
There’s ho­ney in the Rock for you.

Have you tast­ed that the Lord is gra­cious,
Do you walk in the way that’s new?
Have you drunk from the liv­ing Fount­ain?
There’s honey in the Rock for you.

Refrain

Do you pray un­to God the Fa­ther,
What wilt Thou have me to do?
Never fear, He will sure­ly an­swer,
There’s ho­ney in the Rock for you.

Refrain

Then go out through the streets and by­ways,
Preach the Word to the ma­ny or few;
Say to ev­ery fall­en bro­ther,
There’s ho­ney in the Rock for you.
