ROCK OF AGES
1. 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,
Save me from its
guilt and pow'r.
2. Not the labor of
my hands
Can fulfill Thy
law's demands;
Could my zeal no
respite know,
Could my tears
forever fiow,
All for sin could
not atone;
Thou must save, and
Thou alone.
3. Nothing in my
hands 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, 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.
