1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.
2. Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no respite know,
All for sin could not at0ne—
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
3. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
