Oh, my loving mother, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow
Tide 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
Tide 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
Tide 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
Tide 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
Tide me over in the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages cleft for me
Wonderful things of folks are said
When they have passed away
Roses adorn their narrow bed
Over the sleeping clay
[Chorus]
Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul has gone
[Verse 2]
Let us not wait to do good deeds
Till they have passed away
Now is the time to sow good seeds
While here on earth we stay
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Kind words are useless when folks lie
Cold in a narrow bed
Don't wait till death to speak kind words
Now should the words be said
