The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1114

1114. Rock of Ages, cleft for me!

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me!
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side that flowed,
Be of sin the perfect cure;
Save me, Lord, and make me pure.

2 Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
This, for sin, could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone.
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to thy cross I cling.

3 When my pilgrimage I close,
Victor o'er the last of foes,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy Judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
