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 pow'r.
Not the labors 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.
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, Saviour, or I
die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my 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.
Then above the world and sin, Thro' the veil, drawn right
within, I shall see Him face to face, Sing the story, saved by
grace, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me ever be with Thee.
