"God Gave Noah The Rainbow Sign"

I've got a home in that rock
Don't you see (don't you see)
I've got a home in that rock
Don't you see
I've got a home in that rock
Just beyond the mountaintop
Hide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

God gave Noah the rainbow sign
Don't you see (don't you see)
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
Don't you see
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but the fire next time
Hide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
Don't you see (don't you see)
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
Don't you see
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
When he died he had a home on high
Hide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

East and West the fire will roll
Hide thy me (hide thy me)
East and West the fire will roll
Hide thy me
East and West the fire will roll
How will it be with my poor soul
Hide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

When this world's all on fire
Hide thy me (hide thy me)
When this world's all on fire
Hide thy me
When this world's all on fire
Let thy bosom be my pillow
Hide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
