"Rock of Ages"
Music: Thomas Hastings, 1830 Lyrics: Augustus M. Toplady, 1776 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. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill the 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. Nothing in my hand I bring: Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Vile, I to the fountain fly: Wash me, Savior, or I die. |
