I see the sights that dazzle,                           Thou blest rock of ages,
        The tempting sounds I hear;                             I'm hiding in thee!  1/3

        My foes are ever near me,                               Verse 2 In the calm of the noontide,   in sorrow's
        Around me and within;                                   lone hour,  In times when temptation   casts o'er
        But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,                           me its power;
        And shield my soul from sin.  2/4
                                                                In the tempests of life,   on its wide heaving sea,
        Verse 3                                                 Thou blest rock of ages,  I'm hiding in thee!
        O let me hear thee speaking
        In accents clear and still,                             Chorus
        Above the storms of passion,                            Hiding in thee!
        The murmurs of self-will;                               Hiding in thee!
                                                                Thou blest rock of ages,

        To chasten or control;
        O speak, and make me listen,                            Verse 3 How oft in the conflict,   when pressed
        Thou guardian of my soul.  3/4                          by the foe,  I have fled to my refuge,   and

        Verse 4
        O Jesus, Thou hast promised,                            How often, when trials,   like sea-billows roll,
        To all who follow thee,                                 Have I hidden in thee,
        That where Thou art in glory                            O Thou Rock of my soul.
        There shall Thy servant be;

                                                                Verse 1 Peace, perfect peace,   in this dark world
        O give me grace to follow, My master and my             of sin?  The blood of Jesus   whispers peace

        Verse 1 O safe to the rock  that is higher than I,      duties pressed?  To do the will of Jesus,   this is
        My soul in its conflicts   and sorrows would fly,       rest.  2/7

        So sinful, so weary, Thine,                             Verse 3 Peace, perfect peace,   with sorrows
        Thine would I be,                                       surging round?  On Jesus' bosom nought   but
