Rock of Ages

VERSE 1

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

VERSE 2

Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill thy law’s demands

Could my zeal no respite know

Could my tears forever flow

All for sin could not atone

Thou must save and Thou alone

VERSE 3

Nothing in my hand I bring

Simply to The cross I cling

Naked, come to thee for dress

Helpless, look to thee for grace

Foul, I to thy fountain fly

Wash me, Savior, or I die

VERSE 4

While I draw this fleeting breath

When mine eyes are closed 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
