Verse 1 ~ Rock of Ages, cleft for me,      let me hide myself in Thee; let the water and the blood,      from Thy riven side which flowed, be of sin the double cure;      save from wrath and make me pure. Verse 2 ~ 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. Verse 3 ~ Nothing in my hand I bring,      simply to Thyself I cling; naked, come to Thee for dress;      helpless, look to Thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly;      wash me, Saviour, or I die. Verse 4 ~ When my pilgrimage I close,      Victor o'er the last of foes, When I'm raised to ascend above,      and behold more of Thy love, Rock of Ages, cleft for me,      let me hide myself in Thee.
