“Lead me to the Rock.”

Millennial Harp (1843), Supplement («SUPPLEMENT TO THE HARP.»), printed pp. 28–30 (PDF 320–322) — the only
hymn in the book with three pages of music. A major, 3/4, three staves (the tune is the top staff; the words are
printed under it). The music is written out for TWO stanzas: stanza 1 is printed under the first half of the tune
(p. 28 and the first bar of p. 29) and stanza 2, which has no number in the print, runs straight on to the end
(pp. 29–30). Stanzas 3–6 are printed as verse on p. 30 and are sung two by two to the whole tune.
Anapaestic metre (11.11.11.11), not printed.

The same text appears without music in Part I, p. 46 (folder `046_Lead-me-to-the-Rock_words`), with small
differences in wording and five stanzas; that page prints no tune.

O, Savior of sinners, when faint and depress’d,
With manifold trials and sorrows oppress’d,
I’ll bow at thy feet, and with confidence cry,
‘Lead me to the rock that is higher than I!’’

When tempted by Satan the Spirit to grieve—
The service of Christ, my Redeemer to leave,
I’ll claim my relation to Jesus on high,
The rock of salvation that’s higher than I.

3
When judgments, O Lord, are abroad in the land,
And merited vengeance descends from thy hand!
O’erwhelmed with the sight, for protection I’ll fly,
And hide in the Rock, that is higher than I !

4
When summoned away before God to appear,
By free-grace supported I’ll yield without fear!
Most gladly I’ll venture with Jesus on high,
To enter the Rock that is higher than I!

5
’Tis there, with the chosen of Jesus, I long
To dwell, and eternally join in the song,
Of praising and blessing with angels on high,
Christ Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I !

6
The faithful sure promise the fathers believed,
Shall then be fulfilled and the glory received;
The hand that was pierced for me wipe my tears dry.
For to reign with the One that is higher than I.
