151: Rock of Ages
Writer: A. M. Toplady
Composer: T. Hastings

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, cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r!

Verse 2: Not the labors of my hands can fulfill the laws 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 Thy cross I cling
Nakes, come to Thee for dress; helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul I to the fountain fly wash me Savior or I die!

Verse 4: While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on Thy judgment throne.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee!
