No. 70 Hail, Rock of Ages

THE SACRED WOUNDS

Hail, Rock of Ages

(From the Hymn "There is an everlasting home" No.69) M. Bridges
Nicola A. Montani

Moderato (alla breve)

1.
Hail, Rock of Ages, pierced for me,
The grave of all my pride:
Hope, peace and heav'n are all in Thee,
Thy shelt'ring Side.

2.
There issued forth a double flood
The sin atoning tide,
In streams of water and of blood
From that dear Side.

3.
There is the only fount of bliss,
In joy and sorrow tried;
No refuge for the heart like this
A Saviour's Side.

4.
There is the golden gate of heav'n,
An entrance for the Bride,
Where the sweet crown of life is giv'n,
Through Jesus' Side.
