The Higher Rock

By L. V. Masten

"THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I" Ps. lxi, 2.
BY L. V. MASTEN.
WHEN by affliction's hand oppressed— When pain and anguish fills my breast, I'll look beyond the clouded sky, And trust in "the Rock that's higher than I."
When doubts, and fears, and troubles rise, And shade my mind, as clouds the skies, I'll look to the blessed prize, so nigh, And trust in "the Rock that's higher than I."
When scoffs and frowns of a wicked world, And Satan's fiery darts are hurled, To Jesus' side I'll then draw nigh, And trust in "the Rock that's higher than I."
Bright Star of Hope, arise and shine! Shed forth thy rays of light divine! And wing thy way beyond the sky— "Lead me to the Rock that's higher than I."
O may my faith and hope grow strong— Soon shall I sing redemption's song; My captive spirit then will fly, And cleave to "the Rock that's higher than I."
Rochester, Nov. 15th, 1853.
