PRAYER AND ASPIRATION
- 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. - 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 thy cross I cling. - While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds un-known
See thee on thy judgment throne,—
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee. Amen.
- I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus,
At thy feet I bow;
For thy grace and tender mercy,
Trusting now. - I am trusting thee, to guide me;
Thou alone shalt lead,
Every day and hour supplying
All my need. - I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus;
Never let me fall;
I am trusting thee forever,
And for all. Amen.
