[Verse 1]
Rock of G#mAges, F#cleft for Bme,
let me hEide myself in ThBee
Let the F#water and tG#mhe blood,
from Thy woF#unded side which flowEed
Be of G#msin the F#double Bcure;

(Hold 4 bars G#m)
[Verse 2]
Not the G#mlabors F#of my hanBds,

Could my F#zeal no reG#mspite know,

All foG#mr sin coF#uld not Batone;

Nothing G#min my F#hand I briBng,
