Sabbath Psalm 42
(Adapted from Augustus Toplady’s hymn ‘Rock of Ages’)
Rock of ages, tried and true,
Let me hide myself in You!
Let the water and the blood,
From Your wounded side—a flood;
Be of sin the double cure—
Save from wrath and make me pure!
Could my tears forever flow?
Could they pay back what I owe?
No—for sin I can’t atone!
You must save! And You alone!
In my hands no price I bring—
Only to Your cross I cling!
When my lungs give up their breath
And my eyes close fast in death,
I will rise to worlds unknown;
And behold You on Your throne!
Rock of Ages, tried and true,
Let me hide myself in You!
