| 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
|
| 2. Not the labors of my hands
|
| Can fulfill thy law’s commands;
|
| Could my zeal no respite know
|
| Could my tears forever flow
|
| All for sin could not atone;
|
| Thou must save, and thou alone
|
| 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 the fountain fly;
|
| Wash me, Savior, or I die
|
| 4. While I draw this fleeting breath
|
| When mine eyes shall 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 |
