- 1Rock 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 perfect cure,
- Cleanse me, Lord, and make me pure.
- 2Not 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.
- 3Nothing 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, Savior, or I die!
- 4While I draw this fleeting breath,
- When mine eyelids 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!
