The Rock of Salvation.

If life’s pleasures charm you, give them not your heart,

Lest the gift ensnare you from your God to part;

His favor seek, his praises speak;

Fix here your hope’s foundation;

Serve him, and he will ever be

The Rock of your Salvation.

2 If distress befall you, painful though it be,

Let not grief appall you—to your Saviour flee;

He ever near, your prayer will hear,
