Let the beautiful arrangement of this familiar hymn inspire and encourage!
\"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.\"
- Psalms 46:1, 2, 7

ROCK OF AGES
words by Augustus Toplady (1776)
music by Thomas Hastings (1830)
arranged by John Burnham (18--) & Emmanuel Higgins (2014)
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.
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;
When my pilgrimage shall close
Victor o'er the last of foes
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
