Come stay thy feet by the sheltr’ing Rock,
And sweet thy rest will be;
Come lave thy brow in the spray that falls
So clear and cool for thee;
Too long has thou lin­gered away,
But mercy is plead­ing with thee;
O stay thy feet by the sheltr’ing Rock,
And sweet thy rest will be.

Refrain

Then hide thee, hide thee
In the cleft of the Rock;
Hide thee, hide thee,
Hide in the cleft of the Rock.

Come bring thy heart to the sheltr’ing Rock,
And all thy weight of care;
Look up, the light of a Sav­ior’s love
Is smil­ing bright­ly there;
He wait­eth to wel­come thee home,
O breathe but one pe­ni­tent pray­er;
The blood that flows from His wound­ed side,
Thro’ faith will cleanse thee there.

Refrain
