Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,896 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 33:22 Lyrics: 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. 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. 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! 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.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,209 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 33:22 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; hide me, O my Savior, hide till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, O leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find; raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 33:20 Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!
