Representative Text

1 Blest “Rock of ages, cleft for me,”
In ev’ry storm I fly to thee;
‘Tis here my soul delights to be,
And here will I abide.

Refrain:
Rock of Ages,
Rock once cleft for me,
Let me ever hide myself in thee,
‘Tis here my soul delights to be,
And here will I abide.

2 Here “let the water and the blood,”
Protect my soul from storm and flood;
For on this Rock that long has stood,
My soul shall ever stand. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ “nothing in my hand I bring,”
My heart alone the offering,
Still “simply to thy cross I cling,”
Forever safe in thee. [Refrain]
