Rock of Ages 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 of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See beyond Thy judgment throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
