Rock Of Ages chords
Words by Augustus Montague Toplady
Music by Thomas Hastings *
A
D
A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
E
A
let me hide myself in Thee
E
E7
A
Let the water and the blood,
E
E7
A
from Thy wounded side which flowed
D
A
Be of sin the double cure;
E
A
save from wrath and make me pure.
A
D
A
Not the labors of my hands,
E
A
can fulfill Thy law's demands
E
E7
A
Could my zeal no respite know,
E
E7
A
could my tears forever flow
D
A
All for sin could not atone;
E
A
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
A
D
A
Nothing in my hand I bring,
E
A
simply to the cross I cling
E
E7
A
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
E
E7
A
helpless, look to Thee for grace
D
A
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
E
A
wash me, Savior, or I die.
A
D
A
While I draw this fleeting breath,
E
A
when mine eyes shall close in death
E
E7
A
When I soar to worlds unknown,
E
E7
A
see Thee on Thy judgment throne
D
A
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
E
A
let me hide myself in Thee.
