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 for sin a double cure

Save from wrath and make me pure




Not the labor of my hands


Can fulfill Thy law's demands


Could my zeal no respite know


Could my tears forever flow

These for sin could not atone

Thou must save, and Thou alone

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

Wash me, Savior, or I die



While I draw this fleeting breath

When my eyes shall close in death

When I soar to worlds unknown

See Thee on Thy judgement throne

Rock of Ages, cleft for me


Let me hide myself in Thee

Let me hide myself in Thee
