Refrain: Now I’m resting, sweetly resting, In the cleft once made for me; Jesus, blessed Rock of Ages, I will hide myself in Thee. Long pursued by sin and Satan, Weary, sad, I longed for rest; Then I found this heav’nly shelter Opened in my Savior’s breast. Peace which passeth understanding, Joy the world can never give, Now in Jesus I am finding, In His smiles of love I live. In the rifted rock I’ll hide me, Till the storms of life are past; All secure in this blest refuge, Heeding not the fiercest blast.

In the rifted rock I’m resting,
Safely sheltered I abide;
There no foes nor storms molest me,
While within the cleft I hide.
- Refrain:
  Now I’m resting, sweetly resting,
  In the cleft once made for me;
  Jesus, blessed Rock of Ages,
  I will hide myself in Thee.
Long pursued by sin and Satan,
Weary, sad, I longed for rest;
Then I found this heav’nly shelter
Opened in my Savior’s breast.
Peace which passeth understanding,
Joy the world can never give,
Now in Jesus I am finding,
In His smiles of love I live.
In the rifted rock I’ll hide me,
Till the storms of life are past;
All secure in this blest refuge,
Heeding not the fiercest blast.
