In the rift­ed rock I’m rest­ing,
Safe and sure from all al­arm;
Storms and bil­lows have unit­ed
All in vain to do me harm;
In the rift­ed rock I’m rest­ing,
Surf is dash­ing at my feet,
Storm clouds dark are o’er me ho­ver­ing,
Yet my rest is all com­plete.

Refrain

In the rifte­d rock I’m rest­ing,
Sure and safe from all alarm;
Storms and bil­lows have unit­ed
All in vain to do me harm.

Many stor­my seas I’ve tra­versed,
Endless gale and squall have known,
Have been driv­en with­out an­chor,
On the bar­ren shores, and lone;
Yet I now have found a ha­ven,
Never moved by tem­pest shock,
Where my soul is safe for­ev­er,
In the bless­èd rift­ed rock.

Refrain
