300   Rock of Ages




[1]
Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood
From Thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

[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]
When my pilgrimage I close
Victor o er the last of foes
When I soar to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.
