Rock of Ages Songtext
von The Antrim Mennonite Choir

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
Save me from its guilt and pow′r


Not the labours of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands
Could my zeal no respite know?
Could my tears forever flow?
All for sin could mot atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone

Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy 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


While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine 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
