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.
|
|
Could my tears for ever flow,
|
Could my zeal no languor know.
|
These for sin can not atone;
|
Thou must save and thou alone:
|
In my hand no price I bring,
|
Simply to thy cross I cling.
|
|
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.
