Lead to the shadow of the Rock of Re­fuge
My wea­ry feet;
Give me the wa­ter from the life-stream flow­ing
Clear, pure and sweet.

Refrain

There from the bil­lows and the tem­pest hid­ing,
Under the shel­ter of Thy love abid­ing,
Safe in the sha­dow of the Rock of Ag­es,
Joy shall be mine!

Lead to the sha­dow of the Rock Eter­nal
My heart op­pressed;
There in the secret of Thy ho­ly pre­sence,
Calm shall I rest.

Refrain

Lead to the sha­dow of the Rock of Ag­es;
Oh, keep Thou me
Safe from the ar­rows of the world’s temp­ta­tions,
Close, close to Thee!
