[Intro]
C#m E G#m F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
G#m F# B
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
E B
let me hide myself in Thee
F# G#m
Let the water and the blood,
F# E
from Thy wounded side which flowed
G#m F# B
Be of sin the double cure;
E F# G#m
save from wrath and make me pure.
(Hold 4 bars G#m)
[Verse 2]
G#m F# B
Not the labors of my hands,
E B
can fulfill Thy law's demands
F# G#m
Could my zeal no respite know,
F# E
could my tears forever flow
G#m F# B
All for sin could not atone;
E F# G#m
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
(Hold 4 bars G#m)
[Verse 3]
G#m F# B
Nothing in my hand I bring,
E B
simply to the cross I cling
F# G#m
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
F# E
helpless, look to Thee for grace
G#m F# B
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
E F# (C#m)
wash me, Savior, or I die.

[Verse 4]
G#m F# B
While I draw this fleeting breath,
E B
when mine eyes shall close in death
F# G#m
When I soar to worlds unknown,
F# E
see Thee on Thy judgment throne
G#m F# B
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
E F# (C#m)
let me hide myself in Thee.
