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 double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Couplet 2

Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill the 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

Couplet 3

Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Without clothes I come for dress
Without hope I come for rest
For that fountain now I cry
Wash me Savior or I die

Couplet 4

While I draw this fleeting breath
When my 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

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 double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
