The title quotes "Rock of Ages," a hymn Augustus Toplady published in 1776, and its image of a cleft rock recalls the Book of Exodus, where Moses is sheltered in a cleft as God passes by. The line "In my hand no price I bring" states the hymn's central idea that salvation comes through grace rather than through the believer's merit. Currier & Ives, the New York firm that issued this 1868 lithograph, sold affordable prints to a wide public, and devotional subjects like this one found a ready audience among home buyers.
