The Gospel Awakening ‎#122

122. Build On the Rock

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Oh! build on the Rock forever sure,
The firm and the true foundation;
Its hope is the hope which shall endure,
The hope of our salvation.
