An unfailing source of [[strength]]. The term was originally a religious one, a [[translation]] from the Hebrew in the [[Bible]] ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.26 Isaiah 26:4]), which the [[King James Bible|King James Version]] has as “everlasting strength.” It later was variously defined as [[God]], religious [[faith]], and [[salvation]]. The term became widely known through a hymn of that name published in Gospel Magazine in 1775. Its author, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Ages_(Christian_hymn) Augustus Montague Toplady], was addressing [[Jesus]] when he wrote “Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.” Subsequently, the term was sometimes used more lightly to describe any highly reliable source of [[support]].
