- 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. - Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and thou alone;
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling. - While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds un-known
See thee on thy judgment throne,—
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee. Amen.
