• 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.
