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

Could my tears for ever flow
Could my zeal no languor know
These for sin can not atone;
Thou must save and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring

Simply to thy cross I cling

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
