Hymn 758
We are building on the Rock
Meter: 14.9.14.9.
Scripture: Matt 7:25
We are building on the Rock which no tempest e’er can shock
Tho’ the adverse winds may round us roar
Our foundation’s sure and strong, we are here to conquer wrong
Trusting Him whose aid we now implore
On the Rock on the Rock (We are building on the Rock) (On the sure and solid Rock)
It has stood for ages and it stands secure
On the Rock blessed Rock ‘Stand secure' we are building on the Rock,
building on the Rock
We are building on the Rock Christ Jesus.
No foundation could we lay in our own imperfect way
Which would stand the storms that may assail
(But on Christ the solid Rock) (we shall be a sheltered flock)
For His loving care will e’er prevail
Let us labour then and sing in this temple of the King
In His service true we shall be blest
In harmonious, happy bands, loyal hearts united hands
Our reward, eternal peace and rest.
