Rock of Ages, cleft for me Let me

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 - Save me from its guilt and power

2. Not the labor of my hands - Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
    Could my zeal no respite know - Could my tears forever flow,
    All for sin could not atone - Thou must save, and thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hands I bring - Simply to Thy 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.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath - When mine eyes shall close in death    
    When I soar to worlds unknown - See Thee on Thy judgment throne,    
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee.
