Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace.

Rock of ages, shelter me

Author: Toplady Appears in 3,007 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ 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 labour 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 my eye-strings break in death, When I soar through tracts unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me; Let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4
