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.
