“The Rock That Is Higher Than I” | HYMN of the week
Words: Erastus Johnson Music: William Gustavus Fischer 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! 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! O near to the Rock let me keep, If blessings or sorrow prevail; Or climbing the mountain way steep, Or walking the shadowy vale. O then to the Rock let me fly, To the Rock that is higher than I; O then to the Rock let me fly To the Rock that is higher than I! Click here to listen or download.

"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me" Psalm 61:2-3
