Augustus Toplady
Verse 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
Verse 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
Verse 3
While I draw this fleeting breath When mine 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
