Thou art my Rock in the wide desert land,
Sheltered by Thee here in safety I stand;
What tho’ the storms
and the tempests may beat,
What tho’ the sun pour
its fierce noontide heat:
Sheltered by Thee, sheltered by Thee,
Here in the shadow from danger I’m free.
Once I was wand’ring
exposed to the storm,
Refuge there was none
to shield me from harm;
Then ’twas I found in the broad desert way
Christ as my Rock
and with gladness could say:
Sheltered by Thee, sheltered by Thee,
Here in the shadow from danger I’m free.
Come to the Rock so majestic and grand;
Here in its shelter a million may stand;
Each one may feel
that his hope here is sure,
Each one may say in his safety secure:
Sheltered by Thee, sheltered by Thee,
Here in the shadow from danger I’m free.
