Jesus, Thou my only refuge,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
As the storm clouds round me gather,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Refrain

Hide me, hide me, hide me;
Oh, my Sav­ior, hide me;
While the stormy billows roll,
Thou the refuge of my soul.

Words and thoughts and best endeavor,
These for sin could not atone;
From the sea now raging round me,
Thou canst save, and Thou alone.

Refrain

Earnestly I plead for mercy;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
In the blood shed for re­demp­tion,
Wash me, Sav­ior, or I die.

Refrain

In Thy presence safely hide me,
While I draw this fleeting breath;
To the haven surely guide me,
When mine eyes shall close in death.

Refrain

Hide me, oh, my Sav­ior, hide me,
When I soar to worlds unknown;
When I shall, in Thy great glo­ry,
See Thee on Thy judg­ment throne.

Refrain

Then, for­ev­er­more, dear Sav­ior,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Saved from death and sin and sorrow,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
