VERSE 1
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
VERSE 2
Not the labor of my hands,
can fulfill Thy law’s demands
Should my passion never fade,
should my efforts all be weighed
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone
VERSE 3
Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the 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
VERSE 4
While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine 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.
