Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,896 hymnals Matching Instances: 128 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;
stained by sin, to thee I fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through realms unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Death and Bereavement; God in grace and mercy; God names and imags of Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 Used With Tune: PETRA (REDHEAD No. 76)
