The Riven Rock

Author: Mary D. James Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #3 (1885) First Line: Behold the Rock, the smitten rock Refrain First Line: O, the Rock, the Rock, the riven Rock Lyrics: 1 Behold the Rock, the smitten rock! Within its rifted side I’ve found a blessed refuge, where I may securely hide. Refrain: O, the Rock, the Rock, the riven Rock! My Saviour crucified; No other shelter is secure But Jesus’ wounded side. 2 Tho’ thund’ring Sinai’s terrors sound Appalling to the ear, Concealed within the cleft, I’m safe: No danger will I fear. [Chorus] 3 Jesus, dear refuge of my soul! My hope, my joy, my rest; Confiding in Thy changeless love, I am supremely blest. [Chorus] 4 My peace, unbroken by life’s storms, While I in Christ abide, My spirit rests in sweetest calm, As in the Cleft I hide. [Chorus] Topics: Christian Experience Languages: English Tune Title: [Behold the Rock, the smitten rock]
