Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my life in vain,
I'm tempted then to murmur and of my lot complain;
But when I think of Jesus and all He's done for me,
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

Sometimes it seems I dare not go one step farther on,
And from my heart all courage has disappeared and gone,
But I remember Jesus and all His love for me,
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

O what a Friend is Jesus, sure Anchor for my soul!
So tender, true, and gracious, I'm safe in His control;
My Help in time of danger, my strong Defense is He,
"O Thou blessed Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me,
No other refuge have I but Thee!
When life's dark vale I wander, far, far from Thee,
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me!"
