Christ is made the sure foundation

Christ is made the sure foundation

Christ the head and cornerstone

Chosen of the Lord and precious

Binding all the Church in one;

Holy Zion’s help forever

And her confidence alone.

Founded on the Lord victorious

Christ the everlasting Rock

Stands the Church in heav’nly places

Dreading not the storm or shock;

Built with life divine she ever

Stands against attack and mock.

Though the gates of hades frustrate

Yet the Church still stands for God

Overcoming evil spirits

By her Lord’s victorious blood;

And at Christ’s return in triumph

All her foes will then be trod.
