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
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill thy law's commands;
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone
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
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in d**h
When I soar to worlds unknown
See thee on thy judgment throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
