Rock Of Ages

Rock of ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

Let the water and the blood

From Thy wounded side which flowed

Be of sin the double cure

Save from wrath and make me pure.



Could my tears forever flow?

Could my zeal no anger know?

This for sin could not atone

Thou must save and Thou alone

In my hand no prize I bring

Simply to Thy cross I cling.



While I draw this fleeting breath

When my eyes shall close in death

When I rise to worlds unknown

And behold Thee on thy throne

Rock of ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee.

Let me hide myself in Thee...
