LyicsRock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee:
Be of sin the perfect cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Let the water and the blood,
From thy side a healing flood,
Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know
This for sin could not atone;
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.
