Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
This is the song about the Rock. Christ is the chief Cornerstone of 1 Peter 2:6. His work is perfect.
Oh, how this song exalts God,
Isaiah 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee : because he trusteth in thee.
[4] Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
Rock Of Ages
______________________
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, — Let me hide myself in Thee; — Let the water and the blood, — From Thy wounded side which flowed, — Be of sin the double cure, — Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands — Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; — Could my zeal no respite know, — Could my tears forever flow, — All for sin could not atone; — Thou must save, and Thou alone.
While I draw this fleeting breath, — When my eyes shall close in death, — When I rise to worlds unknown, — And behold Thee on Thy throne, — Rock of Ages, cleft for me, — Let me hide myself in Thee.
Augustus M. Toplady 1776.
