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.
