About this Hymn
If you fall, be humbled, but do not despair. Pray afresh to God, who is able to raise you up and to set you on your feet again. Look to the blood of the covenant, and say to the Lord, from the depth of your heart, "Foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die!" Make those words of the apostle your motto: "Perplexed, but not in despair; cast down, but not destroyed" (2 Cor. 4:8). – Augustus Toplady
Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
Not the labors 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
Nothing in my hands 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!
Verse 4
While I draw this fleeting breath, when my 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.
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.
Verse 2
Not the labors 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
Nothing in my hands 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!
Verse 4
While I draw this fleeting breath, when my 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.
