Text: | Rock of Ages! cleft for me |
Author: | Toplady |
1 Rock of Ages! cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven side that flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save me, Lord, and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy Law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and Thou alone!
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar through tracts unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,--
Rock of Ages! cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
