The Lord is my rock and my fortress. 2 Sam. XXII 2.

Rock of ages cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee;

[Illustration: Page 1]

Let the water and blood, From thy riven side which flow'd,

[Illustration: Page 2]

Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

[Illustration: Page 3]

[Illustration: Ocean waves]

Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy laws demands;

[Illustration: Birds]

Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow,

[Illustration: Page 7]

[Illustration: Angel]

All for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and Thou alone,

[Illustration: Page 9]

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling;

[Illustration: Page 10]

[Illustration: Flowers]

Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace;

[Illustration: Page 12]

[Illustration: Angel]

Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.

[Illustration: Page 14]

[Illustration: Flowers]

While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar thro' tracts unknown,

[Illustration: Page 16]

[Illustration: Woman]

[Illustration: Angel]

See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.
