Nothing in my h I bring, simply to cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on thy judgment throne, Rock Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.
