(Brantley C. George)
Rock of age, s 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 rath and make me pure.
--- Instrumental ---
(Save from rath and make me pure.)
Could my tears forever flow
Could my zeal no languor know
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save and Thou alone
In my hand no price I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
--- Instrumental ---
(Simply to Thy cross I cling.)
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I rise the worlds unknown
And behold Thee own Thy throne
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.
(Rock of ages...)
