Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDE FFGGHH IIJKLL MMHHAA

Rock of Ages cleft for meA
Let me hide myself in TheeA
Let the Water and the BloodB
From thy riven Side which flow'dC
Be of Sin the double CureD
Cleanse me from its Guilt and Pow'rE
-
Not the Labours of my HandsF
Can fulfil thy Law's demandsF
Could my Zeal no respite knowG
Could my Tears for ever flowG
All for Sin could not atoneH
Thou must save and Thou aloneH
-
Nothing in my Hand I bringI
Simply to thy Cross I clingI
Naked come to Thee for DressJ
Helpless look to Thee for GraceK
Foul I to the Fountain flyL
Wash me SAVIOUR or I dieL
-
Whilst I draw this fleeting BreathM
When my Eye strings break in DeathM
When I soar through tracts unknownH
See Thee on thy Judgment ThroneH
ROCK of Ages cleft for meA
Let me hide myself in THEEA
