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 from guilt 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 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

1 Roca de la eternidad,
fuiste abierta tú por mí;
sé mi escondedero fiel;
solo encuentro paz en ti,
rico, limpio manantial
en el cual lavado fui.
2 Aunque sea siempre fiel,
aunque llore sin cesar
del pecado no podré
justificación lograr:
solo en ti teniendo fe
deuda tal podré pagar.
3 Mientras deba aquí vivir,
y al postrer suspiro al dar,
cuando vaya a responder
ante tu alto tribunal,
sé mi escondedero fiel,
Roca de la eternidad.
