Subject: Lyr Add: GOD GAVE NOAH THE RAINBOW SIGN
GOD GAVE NOAH THE RAINBOW SIGN
(I've Got a Home in That Rock)

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 mountain top,
Tide 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,
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

Old Lazarus, poor as I,
Dont' you see? (Don't you see?)
Old Lazarus, poor as I,
Don't you see?
Old Lazarus, poor as I,
When he died he had a home on high,
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

East and west the fire will roll,
Hide thou me (Hide thou me)
East and west the fire will roll,
Hide thou me.
How will it be with my poor soul,
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

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