A E A I've gotta home in that rock, don’t you see? D A I've gotta home in that rock, don’t you see? D A D A I've gotta home in that rock, just beyond the mountain top, D A E A hide me, oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me. A E A God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don’t you see? D A God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don’t you see? D A D A God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water but for next time, D A E A hide me, oh, Rock of Ages, cleft for me. A E A Poor old Lazarus, poor as I, don’t you see? D A Poor old Lazarus, poor as I, don’t you see? D A D A Poor old Lazarus, poor as I, when he died he had a room on high, D A E A hide me, oh, Rock of Ages cleft for me. A E A East and west the fire will roll, hide thy me. D A East and west the fire will roll, hide thy me. D A D A East and west the fire will roll, how will it be with my poor soul, D A E A hide me, oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me. A E A When this world's all on fire, hide thy me, D A when this world's all on fire, hide thy me. D A D A When this world's all on fire, let thy bosom be my pillow, D A E A hide me, oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
