The Church Hymnal ‎#330

330. Rock of Ages, cleft for me!

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me!
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy side, a healing flood
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath, and make me pure.

2 Should my tears for ever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to Thy Cross I cling.

3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
