"Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From thy riven Side which flow'd,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r."
Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778), British hymn-writer. "A Prayer, Living and Dying," l. 1-6, Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Worship, London, printed for E. and C. Dilly (1776).

"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 pow'r."
