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
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All could never sin erase
Thou must save, and save by grace
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
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
