Words:
Rock
OF
Ages
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.
NOTHING IN MY HAND
I BRING,
SIMPLY TO THY CROSS
I CLING:
COULD MY TEARS FOR
EVER FLOW,
COULD MY ZEAL NO LANGUOR
KNOW,
ALL FOR SIN COULD NOT
ATONE,
THOU MUST SAVE, AND
THOU ALONE.
WHILE I DRAW THIS FLEETING
BREATH,
WHEN MINE EYELIDS CLOSE
IN DEATH,
WHEN I RISE TO WORLDS
UNKNOWN,
SEE THEE ON THY JUDGMENT
THRONE,
ROCK OF AGES CLEFT
FOR ME,
LET ME HIDE MYSELF
IN THEE.
