• SUNDAY HYMN

  We sang this in church this morning and it is something I would love to be done at my funeral…
  
  
  
  
  
  Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
  Let me hide myself in Thee;
  Let the water and the blood,
  From Thy wounded side which flowed,
  Be of sin the double cure;
  Save from wrath and make me pure.
  
  Not the labor of my hands
  Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
  Could my zeal no respite know,
  Could my tears forever flow,
  All for sin could not atone;
  Thou must save, and Thou alone.
  
  Nothing in my hand I bring,
  Simply to the cross I cling;
  Naked, come to Thee for dress;
  Helpless look to Thee for grace;
  Foul, I to the fountain fly;
  Wash me, Savior, or I die.
  
  While I draw this fleeting breath,
  When mine eyes shall close in death,
  [originally When my eye-strings break in death]
  When I soar to worlds unknown,
  See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
  Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
  Let me hide myself in Thee.
