“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.”

The last lines of this stanza are often changed to "Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath, and make me pure.".
Rock of Ages (1763)
Context: Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Let the Water and the Blood,
From thy riven Side which flow'd,
Be of Sin the double Cure,
Cleanse me from its Guilt and Pow'r.

In the Rock of Ages
I will safely hide;
Though the earth be shaking,
And all hearts be quaking,
Christ is at my side.”
