Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flood Thee
Of sin, the double cure save
From raft and make me pure
(Save from raft 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
(Simply to Thy cross I cling)
While I draw this pleading breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise the world unknown
And behold the own Thy throne
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
(Rock of ages)
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flood Thee
Of sin, the double cure save
From raft and make me pure
(Save from raft 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
(Simply to Thy cross I cling)
While I draw this pleading breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise the world unknown
And behold the own Thy throne
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
(Rock of ages)
