Rock in the Desert

Rock in the des­ert

my shield from the blast

Under Thy sha­dow I’m hid­ing at last;

Dear is Thy ref­uge

and wel­come to me;

Rock in the des­ert

my soul flies to Thee.

My soul flies to Thee

my soul flies to Thee

My soul flies to Thee

my soul flies to Thee

Rock in the des­ert

rock in the des­ert

Rock in the des­ert

my soul flies to Thee.

Rock in the des­ert

how love­ly the star

Guiding my foot­steps from wan­d’ring afar;

Now I am happy

Thy shel­ter I see;

Rock in the des­ert

my faith clings to Thee.

Rock in the des­ert

how peace­ful my rest

Kindly pro­tect­ed

no longer op­pressed;

Long have I thirst­ed for streams cool and free.

Rock in the des­ert

I find them in Thee.

Rock in the des­ert

O Sav­ior di­vine

Thou art my ref­uge

no love is like Thine;

Thou my Re­deem­er art gra­cious to me;

Rock in the des­ert

I live but in Thee.
