              Rock Of Ages

              Rock of ages, cleft for me,
              let me hide myself in Thee;
              let the water and the blood,
              from Thy wounded side which flow'd,
              be of sin, the double cure;
              save from wrath and make me pure.

              Could my tears forever flow,
              could my zeal no languor 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.

              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 myself in Thee.
