Rock of Ages, cleft for 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 could never sin erase, |
| | Thou must save, and save by grace. |
| 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 hid myself in Thee. |
