1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide my self 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.
?
2. Not the labor of my hands can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow,
These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.
?
3. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown and behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
