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.

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.

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.

When mine eyes shall close in death,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

This song came to my mind just after my bible evening devotion. I feel blessed and strengthened. To God be the Glory!

In the hymn "Rock of Ages" is the phrase "Let the water and the blood be of sin the double cure..." The water probably refers to ones' baptism, the blood refers to the crucifixion and the "riven side."

This song just came into my spirit the evening. God is amazing and is our rock. I cling to him with all my heart.
