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 power.
2 Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow, All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 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.
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.
