126 - Rock of Ages

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.

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 the cross I cling.

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.
