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.





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.

Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
In my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling
