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.

Ages,
Ccleft for

CLet me
Ghide my
D7self in
GThee;
Let the

Gflowed,
CBe of

Gcure,
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.

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.

We sang this old hymn tonight in family worship time. Then I began to scroll through the previous comments. What a blessing it is to see all of these brothers and sisters in Christ from all over the world. We will worship together in heaven, and in a sense we worship together now. I love you though I don’t know you!

I bless the name of the Lord for the devotion of this life that brought this hymn is always a blessing.
My own cry is that whatever was assigned me to contribute to the body of Christ I will be careful to know it and to execute it in Jesus Christ name Amen.

Lots of tears... Quand Papa faisait notre lessive, repassait les habits pour toute la famille en preparation du Sabbat. Il chantait et rythmait ses activites avec entre'autre ce morceau!

The song encourages me that I am hidden in rock that has been creft for me, especially at this time of great financial need.
