LyicsROCK of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side that flow'd,
Be of sin the perfect cure,
Save me, Lord, and make me pure
Should my tears forever flow;
Should my zeal no langour 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
