Chorus

Some build their hopes on the everdrifting sand, Some on their fame or their treasure of their land; Mine's on the Rock that forever will stand, Jesus the "Rock of Ages."

Verse 1

There stands a Rock on shores of time That rears to heav'n its head sublime; That Rock is cleft, and they are blest Who find within the cleft of rest.

Verse 2

That Rock's a cross, its arms outspread, Cellestial glory bathes its head; To its firm base my all I bring, And to the cross of Ages clingI

Verse 3

That Rock's a tow'r whose lofty height, Illumed with heav'ns unclouded light, Opes wide its gates beneath the dome, Where saints find rest with Christ at home.
