Rock smitten; or, the Rock of Ages

Author: Toplady Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CXCV (1792) First Line: Rock of ages shelter me Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages shelter 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, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labor of my hands Can fulfil thy 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. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace; Black, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eye-strings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: See, gracious God, before thy throne Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before thy throne Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from thy hand, Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 Great God, and why is Britain spar'd, Ungrateful as we are! O make thy awful warnings heard, While mercy cries "forbear." 4 What numerous crimes increasing rise, Thro' this apostate Isle! What land so favor'd of the skies, And yet what land so vile? 5 How chang'd alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt, and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the christian name! 6 Regardless of thy smile or frown, Their pleasures they require; And sink with gay indifference down To everlasting fire. 7 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, By thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face. 8 Then, should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never-failing aid, If God, our God, is near.
