Lyrics
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 for sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy laws demands.
Could my zeal no forever grow
Could my tears forever flow
These for sins could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to realms unknown,
Bow before thy judgment throne,
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in Thee.
