"RoCK OF AGES"

"RoCK OF AGES"
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung,
Fell the words uncouscioUslY
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune
crock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
ssLet me hide myself in Thee,r
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
Ali the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might be
On some other lips prayer
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas q woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfullys
Every word her heart did know,
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
| Every note with sorrow stirred
/ Every syllable prayer
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me"-
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown
dim.
"Let me hide myself in Thee;''
Trembling though the voice and low
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like q river in its flow.
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's thorny paths have pressed
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above coffin-lid;
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, o storm-tossed soul!
NeYermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll,
Wilt thou need myself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffen'd lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye, still the words would be,
"Let me hide myself in Thee"
