Rock of Ages, cleft for me

by Augustus Montague Toplady

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 300.

Verse 1

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, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Verse 2

Not the labor 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

When my pilgrimage I close; Victor o’er the last of foes, When I soar to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
