In a wea­ry land I wan­der,
And with fal­ter­ing steps I walk;
But I soon shall rest up yonder
In the sha­dow of the Rock.

Refrain

In the sha­dow of the Rock,
In the sha­dow of the Rock,
I will soon be rest­ing yon­der
In the sha­dow of the Rock.

Here my toils are una­bat­ing,
And rude cares about me mock;
But my rest is yon­der wait­ing,
In the sha­dow of the Rock.

Refrain

In these pas­tures fair and ver­nal,
With my Shep­herd’s chos­en flock
I shall feast on joys eter­nal
In the shad­ow of the Rock.

Refrain

By these wa­ters gent­ly flow­ing,
I shall fear no tem­pest’s shock,
And no want or grief be know­ing,
In the sha­dow of the Rock.

Refrain

So with p­atient faith I’ll wan­der,
And with lov­ing trust will walk,
For I’ll soon be rest­ing yon­der
In the sha­dow of the Rock.
