Rock of ages cleft for  me let me hide myself in Thee

G
The circuit ridin' preacher used to ride across the land

G      C                         G
With a rifle on his saddle and a Bible in his hand

G
He told the prairie people all about the promised land

G  C       D7     G
As he went ridin' singing down the trail

G         C         G                           D7
Lean-ing, lean-ing, Safe and se-cure from all a-larms,

G         C         G                      D7      G
Lean-ing, lean-ing, lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms.

G
The circuit ridin' preacher travelled thru the mire and mud

C                                   G
Told about the fiery furnace and of Noah and the flood

G                                                  Em
He preached the way to heaven was by water and the blood

Em C        D7    G
As he went riding singing down the trail

G
There is power, power,

C              G            D7           G
Wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb;

G         G7
There is power, power,

C              G            D7                    G
Wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.

G
Ya know,

G                                                     D7
I heard a circuit-ridin' preacher say these words one day;

D7     G                                         C
"Lord, I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day.

C        D7                           G
"and I'd rather one walk with me than merely show the way.

G                A7                                     C
"and the best of the preachers are those who live their creeds.

C                 A7                           D7
"and to see their good in action, is what everybody needs.

D7             G                       C
"Ya know Lord, I could learn to do it, if you let me see it done.

C                                   D7                             G
"I can watch their hands in action, but their tongues are often to quick to run.

G                              D7
"And the sermons they deliver, may be very wise and true,

D7              G                           A7
"But I'd rather get my lessons, by watching what they do.

A7                                          C
"For I may misunderstand them, and the high advice they give,

C                                 D7                            G
"But there's no misunderstanding, when you see how people act and how they live."

G
His rifle may be rusted as it hangs upon the wall

G       C                          G
And his Bible old and dusty may be never read at all

G                                           Em
But until the resurrection when we hear the trumpet call 

Em C        D7    G
His truth is marching on.

G
Are you washed

G      C
In the blood

C      G                           D7
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb

D7       G                          C
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow

C       G             D            G
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb

G            C         G         D7             G
Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee
