rock of ages
A D A
rock of ages , cleft for me ,
A E A
let me hide myself in thee;
E A
let the water and the blood
E A
from thy wounded side which flowed ,
A D A
be of sin the double cure;
A E A
save from wrath and make me pure .
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 .
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 .
