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: Page 5]

[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.
