Rock of Ages

melody

        G                C        G

       Rock of Ages, cleft for me

G               D7        G

 Let me hide myself in Thee;

G            D                  G

Let the water and the blood

G            D                   G 

 From Thy riven side which flowed,

                    C        G   

Be of sin the double cure

     G                  D7         G      

Save me from its guilt and power.

 

Not the labor 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.
