God Gave Noah the Rainbow Sign

God gave Noah the rainbow sign, 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, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me

East and West the fire will roll, hide thou me,... (x2)
East and West the fire will roll
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
Hide me, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me

Poor old Noah planted him a vineyard, don't you see,... (x2)
Poor old Noah planted him a vine
Then commenced to make a little wine
Hide me, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me

Poor old Noah drank a little wine, don't you see,... (x2)
Poor old Noah drank a little wine
He got higher than a Georgia vine
Hide me, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me

Poor old Lazarus, poor as I, dont you see,... (x2)
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
When he died he had a home on high
Hide me, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me

Oh there's honey in that rock, don't you see,... (x2)
Oh there's honey in that rock
Way up on the mountain top
Hide me, oh Rock of Ages cleft for me
