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
Deep
within
my
weary
heart
Wash
away
every
broken
part
Ntchito

Sizikondweretsa

Ndikazigwiritsadi,
Ndikalira

Not
the
labor
of
my
hands
Can
fulfill
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
I
bring
nothing
to
Your
throne
Only
trust
Your
love
alone

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,
Savior,
or
I
die
Wash
me,
Savior,
or
I
die

Thanthwe

Maiwe!
Thanthwe
long'ambikatu,
Ndibisale
momwemu!)
While
I
draw
this
fleeting
breath
When
my
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
Safe
within
Your
arms
I
rest
In
Your
presence
I
am
blessed
Rock
of
ages,
hide
me
now
At
Your
feet
I
humbly
bow
Hide
me
in
the
cleft
of
Thee
Forever
let
me
be (
