Rock of Ages Songtext
von Tennessee Ernie Ford

Let me hide myself in thee

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


Could not tears forever flow
Could my zeal no langer know
This for sin could not atone
Thou must save and thou alone
In my hands all price I bring
Simply to thy cross I cling
While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes lives close in death

When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold the arm I thrown
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
(Let me hide myself in thee)
