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,
Save me from its guilt and power.

CLet me
Ghide my

Let the

CSave me
Gfrom its

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.
Not the labor of my hands

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.
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.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine 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.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine 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.

I’m not sure that ”the water and the blood” provide a ”double cure” for sin. I believe that Jesus was already dead, when a soldier speared Jesus’ side and water and blood flowed out, proving his death. Jesus’ death alone was what cleansed our sins away. There is no ”double cure” by His water and blood.

"Naked, I come for dress." Compare Hosea 2. The husband provides the wife's clothes. Christ provides His bride clothes. Clothe yourselves with Christ and make no provision for the flesh. Romans 13:14

Growing up as a child, this was one of our favourite hyms at our family altar. I have grown to appreciate the true meaning of this hymn. Our God is indeed our Rock of Ages..

For the pass three days I've been pressure to wake up at midnight to pray. After doing the prayer for two days. I was sitting in front of the house because there was no electricity. Then the song that came to my mind was
ROCK OF AGES

Every time I sing this song, I tear.
I thank God for His saving grace 🙏
