1 Rock of A-ges, cleft for me, Let me hide my-self in Thee
2 Not the la-bors of my hands Can ful -fill Thy law's de -mands;
3 Noth -ing in my hand I bring, Sim-ply to Thy cross I cling
4 While I draw this fleet -ing breath, When my eyes shall close in death,

1 let the wa-ter and the blood, From Thy riv-en side which flowed,
2 Could my zeal no res -pite know, Could my tears for-ev-er flow,
3 Na -ked, come to Thee for dress; Help -less, look to Thee for rest;
4 When I soar to worlds un-known, See Thee on Thy judg-ment throne,
A A6 A A(alt) D A E7sus4 E7 A
1 Be of sin the dou -ble cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.
2 These for sin could not a- tone; Thou must save, and Thou a -lone.
3 Foul, I to the foun -tain fly, Wash me, Sav-ior, or I die!
4 Rock of A-ages, cleft for me, Let me hide my-self in Thee.
