Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me! Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy riven side that flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save me from its guilt and pow'r. 2 Not the labor of my hands Can fulfil 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. 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 mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to world's unknown, See thee on thy Judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee. Used With Tune: [Rock of Ages, cleft for me!]
