48. Rock of Ages

“My God is the rock of my refuge.” Psalm 94:22

Text: Augustus M. Toplady; Music: Thomas Hastings; Key of B flat major


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

Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands
These for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
In my hand no price I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling

While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
