Joy to the World ‎#185

185. Rock of Ages

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flow'd,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath, and make me pure.

2 Could my tears forever flow--
Could my zeal no languor know--
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to the cross I cling.

3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne--
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
