- Verse 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.
- Verse 2
- Not the labours of my hands
- Can fulful Thy law’s demands
- Could my zeal no respite know,
- Could my tears for ever flow,
- All for sin could not atone:
- Thou must save, and Thou alone.
- Verse 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.
- Verse 4
- While I draw this fleeting breath,
- When mine eyelids close in death,
- When I soar through tracts unknown,
- See Thee on Thy judgement throne,
- Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
- Let me hide myself in Thee.
