Build on the Rock

We’ll build on the rock

the liv­ing Rock

On Je­sus

the Rock of Ag­es;

So shall we abide the fear­ful shock

When loud the tem­pest rag­es.

We’ll build on the Rock

We’ll build on the Rock;

We’ll build on the Rock

on the so­lid Rock

On Christ

the migh­ty Rock.

Some build on the sink­ing sands of life

On vi­sions of earth­ly trea­sure;

Some build on the waves of sin and strife

Of fame

and world­ly plea­sure.

O build on the Rock

for ev­er sure

The firm and the true foun­da­tion;

Its hope is the hope which shall en­dure

The hope of our sal­va­tion.
