Verse 1

G            C         G
Rock of ages cleft for me
            D7        G
Let me hide myself in Thee
        D7            G
Let the water and the blood
         D7                 G
From Thy wounded side which flowed
              C      G
Be of sin the double cure
                    D7      G
Save from wrath and make me pure

Verse 2

               C       G
Could my tears forever flow
              D7         G
Could my zeal no languor know
        D7            G
His for sin could not atone
          D7            G
Thou must save and Thou alone
              C       G
In my hand no prize I bring
          D7              G
Simply to Your cross I’ll cling

Verse 3

                  C        G
While I draw this fleeting breath
             D7             G
When my eyes shall close in death
       D7               G
When I rise to worlds unknown
      D7               G
And behold Thee on Thy throne
             C         G
Rock of ages cleft for me
            D7        G
Let me hide myself in Thee

Verse 4

             C         G
Rock of ages cleft for me
            D7        G
Let me hide myself in Thee
