Rock of Ages

Something for the weekend.  The incomparable Tennessee Ernie Ford singing Rock of Ages.  Written by Anglican clergyman Augustus Toplady (You could not make up that name!) in 1776. The tune was written by Thomas Hastings and revised by Lowell Mason.  The hymn has been popular from the start.
