Lyrics

Praise the Rock of our sal­va­tion!
Praise the migh­ty God above!
Come be­fore His sac­red pre­sence
With a grate­ful song of love.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
He is God, and He alone.
Wake the song of ado­ra­tion—
Come with joy be­fore His throne!

Praise the Rock of our sal­va­tion!
Praise the Fa­ther’s bound­less love!
Praise the Lamb, our ex­pi­ation!
Praise the Spir­it from above!

Refrain

Praise the Rock of our sal­va­tion!
Jesus’ blood avails for sin;
Jesus, at the door of mer­cy,
Waits to let the wan­der­er in.

Refrain

Praise the Rock of our sal­va­tion!
Catch from yon­der ra­di­ant clime
Strains by ev­er­last­ing ages,
Echoed back in tones sub­lime.
