Author: Augustus M Toplady, 1740-1778 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #170 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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.
2 Could my tears forever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These 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 my eyes shall 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. Topics: Christ's Passion Languages: English Tune Title: TOPLADY
