  *++Lyrics:|\\
'Mid the wild and fearful blast,\\
I have reached the Rock at last;\\
Helpless, weak and sore dismayed,\\
To the cross I'll cling for aid.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Blessed "Rock," whose love divine,\\
Fills with joy this heart of mine;\\
Cross of Him who died for me,\\
Evermore I'll cling to Thee.\\
\\
Wrecked by sin, by tempest tossed,\\
Compass, chart and anchor lost;\\
He whose power alone can save,\\
Lulls the wind and stills the wave.\\
\\
Rock, that hides my trembling soul\\
From the storms that darkly roll;\\
While beneath the surges dash,\\
Thunders roar, and lightnings flash.\\
\\
When beyond the vale of night\\
I shall soar to realms of light;\\
When mine eyes behold the King,\\
Heart and soul and tongue shall sing.\\
\\
