The 1950 Latter-day Saint hymnal included a version of the hymn for women’s voices only, but in the 1985 hymnal it was changed to the standard four-part harmony for congregational use. 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, cleanse me. it is interesting that my copy of the 1989 United Methodist Hymnal has the original lyrics, as Toplady and Wesley were oft at odds, and many say that Rock of Ages was a Calvinistic answer to many of Wesleys poems. I want rocknroll, You betcha Long live rocknroll Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin, keep a-rollin Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin, rocknrollin We got the power, got the glory Just say you need it and if you need it Say yeah Say yeah Were gonna burn this damn place down Down to the ground Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Rock of Ages Tune: TOPLADY Words: Augustus M. Some disagree on whether the event actually occurred nevertheless, the rock is now marked with a plaque that reads: “Rock of Ages: This rock derives its name from the well known hymn written about 1762 by the Rev A M Toplady who was inspired whilst sheltering in this cleft during a storm.” While traveling along the gorge in Burrington Combe, he was caught in a fierce storm and took shelter in a gap in the gorge, where he wrote the original lyrics. Legend says that Toplady wrote the hymn during a stormy incident in England. This very personal hymn uses pronouns such as I and me rather than we and our,focusing on individual salvation. Nevertheless, he picked them up and began to write on the back of them: Rock of Ages. Looking down he saw some playing cards, which he considered to be a sinful thing. “Rock of Ages” is a Christian hymn written by Augustus M. The words for a hymn began to form in his mind but he had no paper in his pocket to write down the words.
