GLORIES OF CHRIST
3 When God from my soul shall his presence
remove,
To try by his absence the strength of my love,
I’ll rest on the promise of Jesus, and try
The force of the Rock that is higher than I.
4 When sorely afflicted and ready to faint,
Before my Redeemer I’ll spread my com­
plaint ;
Midst storms and distresses my soul shall rely
On Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I.
6 When weak and encompassed with number­
less foes,
Attempting my happiness here to oppose,
I’ll look to the Saviour of sinner’s, and cry,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I
6 When I my poor feelings with others com­
pare,
And learn from reflection what mercies I
share;
My backsliding heart is constrained to reply,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
7 When judgments, O Lord, are abroad in the
land,
And merited vengeance descends from thy
hand,
O’erwhelmed with the sight, for protection
I’ll fly,
And hide in the Rock that is higher than I.
8 When summoned by death before God to ap­
pear,
Thy free grace supporting, I’ll yield without
fear;
Most gladly I’ll venture with Jesus on high,
To enter the Rock that is higher than I.
