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.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
let me hide myself in thee.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill Ty law's demands>
Could my zeal forever grow?
Could my tears forever flow?
These for sin couldbnot atone;
Thou must save and Thou alone.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
let me hide myself in thee.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close 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.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
let me hide myself in thee.
