6 -6 6 5 6 -6 6
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
Let me hide myself in Thee.
7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7
Let the water and the blood,
7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
6 -6 6 5 7 -6 6
Be of sin, the double cure,
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
Save from wrath and make me pure.
verse 2
6 -6 6 5 6 -6 6
Not the labor of my hands,
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
Can fulfill Thy law's demands,
7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7
Could my zeal no respite know,
7 7 -8 -8 7-7 7
Could my tears forever flow,
6 -6 6 5 7 -6 6
All for sin could not atone;
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
Thou must save and thou alone.
verse 3
6 -6 6 5 6 -6 6
While I draw this final breath,
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
When my eyes shall close in death,
7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7
When I rise to worlds unknown,
7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
6 -6 6 5 7 -6 6
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
Let me hide myself in Thee
