1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide my self 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.
2. Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no langour know
These for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
In my hand no price I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
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 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 my self in Thee.
