Founded on Thee

Founded on Thee

our on­ly Lord

On Thee

the ev­er­last­ing rock

Thy Church shall stand

as stands Thy Word

Nor fear the storm

nor dread the shock.

For Thee our wait­ing spir­its yearn

For Thee this house of praise we rear;

To Thee with long­ing hearts we turn:

Come

fix Thy glo­ri­ous pre­sence here.

Come

with Thy Spir­it and Thy pow­er

The Con­quer­or

once the Cru­ci­fied;

Our God

our strength

our king

our tow­er

Here plant Thy throne

and here ab­ide.

Accept the work our hands have wrought;

Accept

O God

this earth­ly shrine;

Be Thou our rock

our life

our thought

And we

as liv­ing tem­ples

Thine.
