Lyrics

The pit­falls in sin’s aw­ful path
Once caught and held me fast,
But Je­sus came and saved from wrath;
I’m on the Rock at last.

Refrain

I’m on the Rock at last, at last,
I’m on the Rock at last;
My feet have found a rest­ing place,
I’m on the Rock at last.

Old Sa­tan led thro’ mire and sand,
And thorns be­fore me cast,
But, by the Sav­ior’s migh­ty hand,
I’m on the Rock at last.

Refrain

On sin’s wild sea I’ll sail no more,
All dan­ger now is past,
The rag­ing tem­pests all are o’er,
I’m on the Rock at last.

Refrain

I have es­caped the burn­ing sand,
The desert’s fie­ry blast,
I’m bound for Hea­ven’s shin­ing strand,
I’m on the Rock at last.
