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 for sin a double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure



Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law's demands

Could my zeal no respite know

Could my tears forever flow
These for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
Thou must save, and Thou alone




Nothing in my hand 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
Wash me, Savior, or I die




While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See Thee on Thy judgement throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee
Let me hide myself in Thee
