Rock of Ages! cleft for me,
I have found my rest in Thee.
Thou, my loving Saviour art,
Worthy Thou to fill my heart.
All my sins were borne by Thee,
In Thy body, on the tree:
There we view the Smitten Rock,
Yielding water for the flock.

" Blessed Jesus-Thou alone
Didst for sinners there atone,
When uplifted on the tree
Thou didst bear the curse for me,
And from out Thy pierced side.
Flowed remission's cleansing tide.
Then was bruised the serpent's head,
And the darkness thus has fled.

" Christ now risen from the dead,
Is become our living Head;
And we wait His voice to hear,
When to us He will appear:
Sleeping saints who then arise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
While the saints who wait shall be
Changed, and ever, Lord, with Thee.

"Washed in Jesus' precious blood.
And made kings and priests to God-
Saints now join the heavenly throng,
Who lift up a grateful song,
To the Lamb who once was slain,
But forever lives again.
'Rock of Ages! cleft for me,'
All my springs are found in Thee."
