Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 3,005 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 6 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide; my shelter be! Let the water and the blood, from your wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labors of my hands can fulfill your law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; you must save, and you alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to your cross I cling; Naked, come to you for dress; helpless, look to you for grace; Stained, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, meet you at your judgment throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide; my shelter be! Scripture: John 19:34 Used With Tune: TOPLADY

As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm and changeless be, a living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be thou my guide; bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away, nor let me ever stray from thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, when death's cold sullen stream shall o'er me roll, blest Saviour, then in love, fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul.
