| 1. In Seasons of Grief
to My God, I'll Repair
When my heart is o'er-whelmed
with sorrow and care;
From the ends of the earth
unto thee will I cry,
"Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I."
Refrain.
Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I.
2. When Satan, my foe,
shall come in like a flood,
To drive my poor soul
from the fountain of good,
I'll pray to the Savior
who kindly did die,
"Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I!"
Refrain.
Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I.
3. And while as a stranger
I sojourn below,
Thy covenant blessings,
Lord, freely bestow;
In affliction's dark night
to Thy throne let me fly,
Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I.
Refrain.
Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I.
4. And when I have ended
my pilgrimage here,
In Jesus' pure righteousness
let me appear;
From the swellings of Jordan
to thee will I cry,
"Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I!"
Refrain.
Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I.
