On the Rock (Woodrow)

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es

The Rock that shall en­dure

Unshaken by the tem­pest

Eternal

firm and sure;

There is a safe re­treat

A re­fuge strong and free

Amid the stor­my bil­lows

Of life’s tem­pest­uous sea.

Standing

stand­ing

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es

Standing

stand­ing

No need have I to fear.

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es

We view the tran­quil soul

Untroubled by the tem­pest

Or surg­ing bil­lows’ roll;

Be dan­gers what they may

And break the waves of care

Amid the wild com­mo­tion

We stand in safe­ty there.

Standing on the Rock of Ag­es

No need have we to fear

God ban­ish­es our sor­row

God wipes away our tear;

We’re watch­ing

we be­lieve

We trust His pro­mise sure

That crowns of joy are wait­ing

For all His saints se­cure.
