[Verse 1]
O my loving mother, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me

[Verse 2]
My dear old father, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me

[Chorus]
Now a-what you gonna do when the world's on fire?
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me

[Verse 3]
My dear old brother, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me

[Verse 4]
My beloving sister, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me

[Chorus]
Now a-what you gonna do when the world's on fire?
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow?
Hide me over the Rock of ages
The Rock of ages, cleft for me
