Hymn 271 – ROCK of ages cleft for me | C&S English Hymnary

1. ROCK of ages cleft for me; Let me hide myself in thee Let the water and the blood From thy riven side which flowd, Be of sin the double cure Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labours of my hand 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 l draw this fleeting breath When my eyelids close in death When I soar through tracts unknown See Thee on Thy judgement throne Rock of ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee AMEN
