24th February 2018 Rock of ages / 77 77 77 / Ash Wednesday / Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) / Classic Hymns for Lent and Passiontide / Easter Eve / Easter Vigil / Exodus 33 / Funeral / Good Friday. While being able to identify with the emotions that arise out of the historical circumstances, the call for Divine retribution is foreign to the modern ear. Rock Of Ages Cleft For Me (Toplady) : Recording Tune: Toplady, composed Thomas Hastings (1784 1872). 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 a raw, emotional reaction to persecution faced by the Jewish community in Christian Europe. 1 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 from its guilt and power. The appearance of this little-known, rarely sung stanza, which calls on God to wreak vengeance on enemies of the Jews and, as some translations word it, “thrust the enemy into the shadows of death,” poses a challenge to modern Jewish sensibilities.

The tune’s origins are not documented, but it is believed to be an adaptation of contemporary folk songs or hymns. Yet this joyous song also contains a later addition, a sixth stanza composed three centuries after the original Maoz Tzur was written. When issued as a single in the United States, the song reached 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and 19 on the Cash Box Top 100. It is a valuable, classic Christian hymn. You are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector, the rock where I am safe, my shield and my place of shelter.
'Rock of Ages' is a song by Def Leppard from their 1983 album Pyromania. The hymn 'Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me' (Hymns, 1058) is a good Christian song. This well-known Hanukkah song, whose words were composed in the 13th century, summarizes historical challenges faced by the Jewish people that have been overcome with God’s help.
