Rock of Ages Songtext
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. Hm-hm-hm... (a full stanza)
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When I close my eyes in death,
When I′ve rised to worlds unknown,
And the holding of thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
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. Hm-hm-hm... (a full stanza)
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When I close my eyes in death,
When I′ve rised to worlds unknown,
And the holding of thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
