66. Hail, Rock of Ages, pierced for me

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.

There issued forth a double flood

The sin atoning tide,

In streams of water and of blood

From that dear Side.

There is the only fount of bliss,

In joy and sorrow tried;

No refuge for the heart like this

A Saviour's Side.

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.
