Rock of Ages

Verse 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 from wrath and make me pure.

Verse 2 ~

Not the labors 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.

Verse 3 ~

Nothing in my hand I bring,
     simply to Thyself I cling;
naked, come to Thee for dress;
     helpless, look to Thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
     wash me, Saviour, or I die.

Verse 4 ~

When my pilgrimage I close,
     Victor o'er the last of foes,
When I'm raised to ascend above,
     and behold more of Thy love,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
     let me hide myself in Thee.
