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;
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.
Wake the song of jubilee,
Let it echo o'er the sea!
Now is come the promised hour;
Jesus reigns with kingly power;
Let it sound from shore to shore,
Jesus reigns forever more,
Now the desert lands rejoice
And the islands join their voice;
Yea, the whole creation sings;
Jesus is the king of kings!
Let is sound from shore to shore,
Jesus reigns for evermore.
Hallejah! praise the Lord,
Praise the Father; praise the Word;
Ever may their fame extend;
Never may their Praises end.
Hallelujah! praise the Lord;
Praise the Father; praise the Word.
