Lyrics Mahalia Jackson

Mahalia Jackson

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.

Hm-hm-hm... (a full stanza)

While I draw this fleeting breath,

When I close my eyes in death,

When I've rised to worlds unknown,

And the holding of thy throne

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.
