Rock of ages cleft for meLet me hide myself in theeLet the water and the bloodFrom thy wounded side which flowedBe of sin the double cureSave from wrath and make me pureSave from wrath and make me pureCould my tears forever flowCould my zeal no languor knowAll for sin could not atoneThou must save and thou aloneIn my hand no price I bringSimply to thy cross I clingSimply to thy cross I clingWhile I draw this fleeting breathWhen mine eyes shall close in deathWhen I rise the worlds unknownAnd behold thee own thy throneRock of ages cleft for meLet me hide myself in theeRock of ages.
About Rock of Ages 'Rock of Ages' is a hit song by Def Leppard from their Diamond-selling 1983 album Pyromania. When issued as a single in the United States, the song reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #19 on the Cash Box Top 100. A silver screen adaptation of a Broadway show that turned MTV metal into a musical, the original soundtrack to Rock of Ages can’t help but feel like a faded photocopy, but somebody has taken great care to dress those smeared, blurry images in glitter and highlights, the sparkle deriving from a star-studded cast fronted by Tom Cruise.
