A             D         A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E       A
let me hide myself in Thee
        E             A
Let the water and the blood,
         E                  A
from Thy wounded side which flowed
              D      A
Be of sin the double cure;
                    E       A
save from wrath and make me pure.

A              D     A
Not the labors of my hands,
                E       A
can fulfill Thy law's demands
         E               A
Could my zeal no respite know,
         E             A
could my tears forever flow
                  D    A
All for sin could not atone;
                    E     A
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

A             D      A
Nothing in my hand I bring,
              E       A
simply to the cross I cling
       E                A
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
          E                A
helpless, look to Thee for grace
               D        A
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
                 E    A
wash me, Savior, or I die.

A                 D        A
While I draw this fleeting breath,
                     E        A
when mine eyes shall close in death
       E                A
When I soar to worlds unknown,
    E                    A
see Thee on Thy judgment throne
              D         A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E       A
let me hide myself in Thee.
