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

Could my tears forever flow

Could my zeal no respite know

All for sin could not atone;

Thou must save and Thou alone

Nothing in my hand I bring

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

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
