Standing on the Rock of Ag­es,
The Rock that shall en­dure,
Unshaken by the tem­pest,
Eternal, firm and sure;
There is a safe re­treat,
A re­fuge strong and free,
Amid the stor­my bil­lows
Of life’s tem­pest­uous sea.

Refrain

Standing, stand­ing,
Standing on the Rock of Ag­es,
Standing, stand­ing,
No need have I to fear.

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es,
We view the tran­quil soul,
Untroubled by the tem­pest,
Or surg­ing bil­lows’ roll;
Be dan­gers what they may,
And break the waves of care,
Amid the wild com­mo­tion,
We stand in safe­ty there.

Refrain

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es,
No need have we to fear,
God ban­ish­es our sorrow,
God wipes away our tear;
We’re watch­ing, we be­lieve,
We trust His pro­mise sure,
That crowns of joy are wait­ing
For all His saints se­cure.

Refrain
