Rock
of Ages
Jesus is our rock; He alone can hide us and keep us safe.
He alone can cleanse us with His blood. There is nothing He needs, nothing we
can do that will keep Him from loving us and He alone can give us grace. We
must give ourselves to Him so that we can reach His throne. He alone can save us
from our guilt and shame.
Lyrics by Augustus M. Toplady, arranged by Thomas
Hastings
“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, save me from its guilt and power.
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 Thy 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.
