LyicsRock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy side, a healing flood,
Be of sin the perfect cure,
Save from wrath, and make me pure.
Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
This for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring:
Simply to thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids 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.
