Rock of Ages (Toplady)

Admin

 
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

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

Nothing in my hand I bring 
Simply to the cross I cling 
Naked come to thee for dress 
Helpless look to thee for grace 
Foul I to the fountain fly
Wash me Savior or I die

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
