Couplet 1

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 perfect cure
Save from wrath
And make me pure

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
What can save me but Thy grace
Oh hold me close in Your embrace

Couplet 3

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

Tag

Wash me Savior or I die

Refrain

Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
What can save me but Thy grace
Oh hold me close in Your embrace

Couplet 4

While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
See Thee on thy judgment throne
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee

Refrain

Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
What can save me but Thy grace
Oh hold me close in Your embrace

Post-Refrain

Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in Thee

Boucle

Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in Thee
