Charles Ives — Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee Rock of Ages, cleft for me O let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood From Thy side, a healing flood Be of sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure Be of sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure Should my tears forever flow Should my zeal no languor know All for sin could not atone Thou must save, and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring Simply to Thy cross I cling To Thy cross I cling While I draw this fleeting breath When my eyelids close in Death When I rise to worlds unknown And see Thee on Thy Judgment Throne When I rise to worlds unknown See Thee on Thy Judgment Throne Rock of Ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee Rock of Ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee
