A             D        A 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
        A      E       A 
Let me hide myself in Thee; 
        E             A 
Let the water and the blood 
         E                   A 
From Thy wounded side which flowed, 
      A        D      A 
Be of sin the double cure; 
           A         E       A 
Save from wrath and make me pure. 

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. 

Nothing in my hand I bring, 
Simply to the cross I cling; 
Naked, come to Thee for dress; 
Helpless, look to Thee for grace; 
Foul, I to the fountain fly; 
Wash me, Savior, or I die. 

While I draw this fleeting breath, 
When mine eyes shall 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.
