(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
O sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal;
And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul!
CHORUS
O then to the Rock let my fly, (let me fly),
To the Rock that is higher than I; (is higher than I);
O then to the Rock let my fly, (let my fly),
To the Rock that is higher than I!
2
O sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life’s dusty way,
The Rock’s blessed shadow, how sweet!
CHORUS
3
O near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain-way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale.
CHORUS
At The Rainbow
