Verse 1:
G
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Cmaj7
let me hide myself in Thee;
G
let the water and the blood,
Cmaj7
from thy wounded side which flowed,
Em7 C
be of sin the double cure;
Em7 Am7
save from wrath and make me pure.
Verse 2 (chords as V.1.) :
Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil Thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow?
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Chorus:
C/G G C/G
Rock of A - ges, Rock of Ages,
Em
the cross will ever speak
D
mercy over me.
C/G G C/G
Rock of A - ges, Rock of Ages,
Em
so powerful to save.
D
Never ending grace
Am
will guide me home.

[3.]
Em
so powerful to save.
D
Never ending grace
Am
will guide me home.
Verse 3 (chords as V.1.) :
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, Saviour, or I die.
Verse 4 (chords as V.1.) :
While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyes shall 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.
