* Rock Of Ages *




Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure:

Cleanse me from its guilt and power.



Not the labors of my hands

Can fulfill thy law's demands;

Could my seal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All for sin could not atone;

Thou must save, and thou alone.



Nothing in my hand I bring;

Simply to thy cross I cling.

Naked, come to thee for dress;

Helpless, look to thee for grace;

Foul, I to the fountain fly;

Wash me Savior, or I die.



While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyelids close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See thee on thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee;
