     6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.(KJV)

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
Let me hide myself in Thee; 
Let the water and the blood 
From Thy riven side which flowed 
Be of sin the double cure, 
Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 

2. Not the labors of my hands 
Can fulfil 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. 

3. Nothing in my hand I bring, 
Simply to Thy cross I cling; 
Naked, come to Thee for dress; 
Helplees, look to Thee for grace; 
Foul, I to the fountain fly,– 
Wash me, Savior, or I die! 

4. While I draw this fleeting breath, 
When mine eyelids close 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!
