Lead me to the rock that’s high­er
Than the rock poor self can show;
Lead me to its per­fect shel­ter,
The strong tow­er from ev­ery foe.

Refrain

In the high­er rock I’m trust­ing,
Restful, peace­ful, saved and free,
’Tis the test­ed rock of ag­es,
Its dear sha­dow shel­ters me.

Yes, the high­er rock so tow­er­ing
Gives, amid life’s rud­est storms,
Perfect re­fuge, sur­est safe­ty,
Sweetest rest amid al­arms.

Refrain

’Tis the high­er rock that gives me
Faith’s glad strength for ev­ery hour;
Oh to mea­sure all its glad­ness,
All its pre­cious­ness of pow­er!

Refrain

’Tis the high­er rock sus­tains me
Joyously from day to day;
Lifting heart, and soul, and spi­rit,
To the pur­er, ho­li­er way.

Refrain

’Tis the high­er rock that saves me,
’Tis the high­er rock I’ve found,
Where abide the crown­ing grac­es—
Faith and hope and love abound.

Refrain

So will I sing prais­es to Thee—
For Thy won­drous pow­er to save;
Daily ’neath Thy sha­dow rest­ing,
Till the vic­tor’s palm I wave.
