Eternal Rock, project thy shade,
Extend to me thy friendly aid,
While at thy foot, a sinner I,
Weary, and spent, and dying lie:
Cover’d by thee, my soul would rest
With pardon and salvation blest,
’Till thro’ thy riven side I rise,
And see thee fill both earth and skies.
Eternal Rock, project Thy shade
