Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #220b (1786) Scripture: Psalm 118:22-23 First Line: Behold the sure foundation stone Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure foundation stone
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heaernly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
And saints adore the name,
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
4 What tho' the gates of hell withstood?
Yet must this building rise:
'Tis thy own work, Almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes.
