  • AUGUSTUS TOPLADY - he wrote one of the world's best hymns while sheltering from a violent thunderstorm.

    LIGHTNING briefly illuminated the primitive, rock- hewn landscape of (Burrington Combe in Somerset ENGLAND) It was followed by a deep growl of thunder, and then rain lashed mercilessly down, pouring bubbling streamlets down the craggy sides of primeval cliffs which rise up some 250ft.

    THE nearby village OF (Burrington Combe) IS JUST A FEW MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME

  • hey im looking for the song in the blue and the gray rock of ages the melody he is whistling i the movie

  • Thanks Jim! I lived in Loxton (within wellie-hoying distance of The Rock) for 6 months about 37 years ago. A decade earlier I sang this hymn many times as a chorister in Carlisle Cathedral.-He grew the tree(cross)..He cleft the rock(my Saviour)..He knows the future(my Salvation)..therefore.."On Christ the solid Rock I stand,..All other ground is sinking sand,..all other ground is sinking sand". May God Bless You and keep you safe in His Love..

  • Thanks for this video Jim, went to look for myself as I dont live very far away from Burrington Combe now after living near Birmingham most of my life, and it was my mothers favourite hymn.lovely area around there.

  • I can play that tune on my saxophone :O) It's nice to finally know it's origin. Thank you

  • Thanks for putting this up Jim, enjoyed muchly,

  • Your photographs are stunning and I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the story behind the writing of the hymn, Rock of Ages.
