Rock of ages let our song

Praise (your) saving power;

Thou amidst the raging foes;

(you were) our sheltering tower

(our sheltering tower).



Rock of ages let our song

Praise thy saving power;

Thou amidst the raging foes;

(you were) our sheltering tower

(our sheltering tower.)



Furious they assailed us,

But thine arm availed us,

And thy word broke their sword,

When our own strength failed us.



And (your) word broke their sword,

When our own strength failed us.



Children of the (wanderers)

Whether free or fettered

Wake the echoes of the songs

Where ye may be scattered



Yours the message cheering

That the time is nearing

Which will see all men free

And tyrants disappearing



(hope will see all men free,

And tyrants disappearing)
