167. Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
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.

Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no langour know,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and thou alone.
In my hands no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross, thy cross, I cling!
In my hands no price I bring.
Simply to thy cross, thy cross, I cling.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall 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.
Amen.
