300. Rock of Ages

E             A         E                  B7      E
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide my-self in Thee;

E       B7            E               B7               E
Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed,

E             A      E     C#m        E        B7        E
Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

[Verse 2]
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

[Verse 3]
When my pilgrimage I close;
Victor o’er the last of foes,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
