Sad wrecks be 'round you on the sand, neighbor, The floods and the storms are near; Will the strong blast hurl to the earth thy walls, Or blanch thy cheek with fear? Chorus: On what foundation do you build, neighbor, Your hopes for the future fair? Do your walls reach down to the rock below, And rest securely there? 2 On sure foundation would you build, neighbor?

There would I see all the Father revealed, Faithful and true, all the promises sealed, Gift of all gifts, the most loved and adored, Jesus, anointed, the Saviour and Lord. 2 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Beautiful feet on the mountain that bring Tidings, glad tidings from Israel’s King. Peace and salvation, and pardon divine, Joy of all joys, that salvation is mine. 3 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Many the conflict thro’ which He has pass'd, Ended His sorrowful journey at last; Wounded His head, and His hands and His feet, Finished! He cries, and His work is complete. 4 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Altar, and victim, and priest to stone, Treading the wine-press of vengeance alone; Stained are His garments, with tears and with blood, Jesus, Redeemer! my Lord and my God. Scripture: Titus 3:5 Used With Tune: [Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh]

I shall find down the valley no alarms, For my Savior’s blessed smile I can see; He will bear me in his loving, mighty arms, There’s a light in the valley for me. There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley for me, And no evil will I fear, While my Shepherd is so near, There’s a light in the valley for me.
