The Rock Amid The Waves

Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16032 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: There stands a Rock amid the waves Refrain First Line: There is a Rock amid the waves Lyrics: 1 There stands a Rock amid the waves, O mariner, be not af­raid; When surg­es roll He sweet­ly saves: In His dear name, be not afraid. Refrain: There is a Rock amid the waves, A migh­ty Rock amid the waves; O, hal­le­lu­jah, how He saves, This blessed Rock amid the waves. 2 When clouds are dense around your bark, And when the wind in an­ger raves, Sail on and trust, nor fear the dark, There is a Rock amid the waves. [Refrain] 3 When wild winds rave and bil­lows roll, There’s safe­ty near the One who saves; For every lov­ing, trust­ing soul, There is a Rock amid the waves. [Refrain] 4 Are you up­on the sea alone? Friends gone whose love your sad heart craves? He sees the tear­drops of His own, This bless­ed Rock amid the waves. [Refrain] 5 We’ll reach the har­bor some glad day, Where dwell the hosts He sweet­ly saves, Where all the tears are wiped away, By this great Rock among the waves. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: PHNOM PENH
