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 power
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
When my pilgrimage I close
Victor o'er the last of foes
When I soar to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
