The Gospel Awakening ‎#86

86. Rock of Ages, cleft for me

1. Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy side a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath, and make me pure.

2. Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling.

3. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I with the throne unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
