Rock of Ages

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill the 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

While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes chall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on the throne
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
