Lyrics
Verse 1
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Let the water and the blood
From thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Verse 2
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save and thou alone
Thou must save and thou alone
Chorus
So I boast only in your cross
Only in your grace
Jesus my Redeemer
There’s no price I could ever pay
I receive by faith
Jesus mighty Savior
Verse 3
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Naked come to thee for dress
Helpless look to thee for grace
Foul I to the fountain fly
Wash me Savior or I die
Wash me Savior or I die
Chorus
So I boast only in your cross
Only in your grace
Jesus my Redeemer
There’s no price I could ever pay
I receive by faith
Jesus mighty Savior
Chorus
So I boast only in your cross
Only in your grace
Jesus my Redeemer
There’s no price I could ever pay
I receive by faith
Jesus mighty Savior
Verse 4
While I draw this fleeting breath
When my 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
Let me hide myself in thee
