Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages - George Beverly Shea

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 power

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

Not the labors of my hands

Can fulfil thy law's demands

Could my zeal no respite know

Could my tears for ever flow

All for sin could not atone

Thou must save and thou alone
