"Rock of Ages"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

"Rock of Ages"

1. Christ is the "Rock of Ages," high,
Where all my hope is fix'd;
The smitten Rock, which yields supply
Of living streams unmix'd.

2. Christ is the Rock, from whence I see
Both friends and foes aright;
Thither my soul would daily flee,
And thence maintain the fight.

3. Christ is my Rock, on him I build,
My life, my hope, my all;
His promises shall be fulfill'd;
He will not let me fall.

4. Christ is my Rock, he firm endures,
And all my burden bears:
The soul that trusts him, he secures,
From sins, and foes, and snares.

5. Christ is my Rock, where lies my store,
Of grace, and glory vast;
Since Christ is mine, I can't be poor,
But shall have heav'n at last.
