(início)

    F                       Bb
Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come,
    F                       Bb            C
Informed by the gospel for such there is room;
    Dm             C        Bb
Overwhelmed with sorrow for sin will I cry,
     Dm             C        Bb
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I!

     F                     Bb
When tempted by Satan my Saviour to leave,
    F                       Bb        C
Who sets forth religion as meant to deceive,
      Dm         C          Bb
I'll claim my relation to Jesus on high—

The Rock of Salvation that is higher than I!

When God from my soul shall his presence remove
    F                       Bb        C
To try by his absence the strength of my love,
     Dm            C         Bb
I'll rest on the promise of Jesus, and try
     Dm            C             Bb      C  F
The force of that Rock which is higher than I!

Before my Redeemer I'll spread my complaint;
       Dm             C          Bb
'Midst storms and distresses my soul shall rely
    Dm         C             Bb    C   F
On Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I!

When weak and encompassed with numberless-foes,
      F                   Bb       C
Attempting my happiness here to oppose,
     Dm             C        Bb
I'll look to the Saviour of sinners, and cry,
  Dm            C             Bb    C   F
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I!
VERSE: 6
     F                       Bb
When I my poor feelings with others compare,
    F                           Bb        C
And learn from reflection what mercies I share!
    Dm           C        Bb
My backsliding heart is constraint! to reply,
   Dm           C             Bb    C   F
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I!

When judgements, O Lord, are abroad in the land,
     F                     Bb            C
And merited vengeance descends from thy hand!
    Dm                C             Bb
O'erwhelmed with the sight, for protection I'll fly,
     Dm         C             Bb     C   F
And hide in the Rock that is higher than I!

      F                       Bb
When summoned by death before God to appear,
    F                            Bb            C
Thy free-grace supporting, I'll yield without fear!
      Dm            C          Bb
Most gladly I'll venture with Jesus on high,

To enter the Rock that is higher than I!

'Tis there, with the chosen of Jesus, I long
    F                     Bb         C
To dwell, and eternally join in the song
    Dm             C            Bb
Of praising and blessing, with angels on high,
        Dm         C             Bb    C   F
Christ Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I!
