O heed now the outcrying pains of my heart! I come as the prodigal came. 4 We thank thee we find in life’s wilderness Established thy gardens of grace, In temptation’s desert a cool shading rock, In darkness the light of thy face.

Whom in Heaven but thee? Topics: The gospel Response

Rock of ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-78) Appears in 2,918 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours 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, Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 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.

The ruins of my soul repair And make my heart a house of prayer. Topics: The gospel Response
