Lyrics:


Oh my loving mother, when the world's on fire,
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the rock of ages,
Rock of ages, cleft for me.

I'm going to heaven when the world's on fire
And I want God's bosom to be my pillow.
Hide me over in the rock of ages,
Rock of ages, cleft for me.

Oh my loving brother, when the world's on fire,
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the rock of ages,
Rock of ages, cleft for me.

Oh my loving sinner, when the world's on fire,
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the rock of ages,
Rock of ages, cleft for me.

Don't you want to go to heaven, when the world's on fire,
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over in the rock of ages,
Rock of ages, cleft for me.
