[Verse 1]
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
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r
[Verse 2]
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy laws' demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save and Thou alone
[Verse 3]
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy Cross I cling
Naked come to Thee for dress
Helpless I look to Thee for grace
Foul I to the fountain fly
Wash me Savior or I die
[Verse 4]
While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyelids close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
And see Thee on Thy judgement throne
[Outro]
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself
In Thee
