Rock Of Ages

♫Rock of Ages♫ is a Christian hymn written by Augustus M. Toplady, with music by Thomas Hastings.
Legend says that Toplady wrote the hymn during a stormy incident in England. While traveling along the gorge in Burrington Combe, in North Somerset, England he was caught in a storm and took shelter in a gap in the gorge, where he wrote the lyrics. The rock has 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.”
