Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-78 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 3,004 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Redeemer 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 fulfill 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 eyelids close 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 John 1:5-10 Used With Tune: PETRA

Each a golden crown is wearing; who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! Hark, they sing, praising loud their heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, these in God's own truth arrayed, clad in robes of purest whiteness, robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence come all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended for their Savior's honor long, wrestling on 'til life was ended, foll'wing not the sinful throng; these, who well the fight sustained, triumph thro' the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, sore with woe and anguish tried, who in pray'r full oft have striven with the God they glorified; now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, off'ring up to Christ their will; soul and body consecrated, day and night to serve him still: now in God's most holy place blest they stand before his face.

His lovingkindness, O how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood, His lovingkindness, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Savior to depart; But though I oft have Him forgot, His lovingkindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O may my last expiring breath His lovingkindness praise in death.
