A-Z: General definitions: Rock of Ages

The name of a popular Christian hymn published in 1775, in which the Rock is a metaphor for God.
In the Bible rocks are sometimes portrayed as a place of refuge. Rock also provided a firm foundation for building. Rock can therefore symbolise shelter, strength and stability.
