Rock of Ages

Hymns, 382


1. 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 of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure.

2. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my 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 myself in thee.
