Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #559 (2001) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal First Line: Rock of ages, cleft for me 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 Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languish know,
These for sin could not atone -
Thou must save, and Thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee. Topics: Devotional; Everlasting Life; Jesus Christ His Blood; Jesus Christ His Cross Scripture: Psalm 61:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: TOPLADY
