ROCKOFAGESCLEFTFORME

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.

Fartheralong

Tempted and tried, we're often made to wonder; Why it should be thus all the day long; While there are others living bout us, never molested though in the wrong.

Chorus

Could my tears for ever flow; Could my zeal no langour know; These for sin could not atone; Thou must save and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring; Simply to the cross I cling.

While I draw this fleeting breath; When mine eyes shall close in death; When I rise to world's unknown; And behold Thee on Thy throne; Rock of ages cleft for me; Let me hide myself in Thee.

Farther along, we'll know all about it; Farther along, we'll understand why; Cheer up my brother, live in the sun shine; We'll understand it all by and by.

When death has come and taken our loved ones; It leaves our home so lonely and drear; Then do we wonder why others prosper, living so wicked year after year.

"Faithful 'til death", said our loving Master; A few more days to labour and wait’; Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, as we sweep through the beautiful gates.
