Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,895 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:22 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
stained by sin, to thee I fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through realms unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Death and Bereavement; God in grace and mercy; God names and imags of Used With Tune: PETRA (REDHEAD No. 76)

There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-20 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.
5 Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday Used With Tune: HORSLEY
There is a green hill far away
Give us the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-20 Lyrics: 1 Give us the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
their couch was wet with tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 We ask them whence their victory came:
they, with united breath,
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their breast,
and, following their incarnate God,
possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven.

Where high the heavenly temple stands
Author: Logan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-22 Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High-Priest our nature wears,
The guardian of mankind appears.
2 Though now ascended up on high,
He bends to earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.
3 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers, in the skies,
His tears, his agonies, and cries.
4 In every pang that rends the heart,
The Man of Sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.
5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known,
And ask the aid of heavenly power
To help us in the evil hour. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; A Merciful and Faithful High-Priest

and take the pledges of salvation here.
5 The Lord in this world rules his saints, and shields;

my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

support me in the raging flood;
when ev'ry earthly prop give way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

oh, may I then in him be found,
clothed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before his throne. [Refrain]
