VERSE #1

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide thyself 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.



VERSE #2

Not the labors of my hands,

Can fulfill Thy law's demands;

These for sin could not atone;

Thou must save, Thou alone:

In my hand no price I bring,

Simply to the cross I cling.



VERSE #3

While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,

When I rise to worlds unknown,

And behold Thee on Thy Throne,

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide thyself in Thee.
