Built On The Rock, The Church Doth Stand
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #92 (1930) Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the Church doth stand,
Even though steeples be falling;
Crumble may spires in ev'ry land;
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest.
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest in the Savior.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God the Most High is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet He who dwells in heav'n above
Deigns to descend to us in love,
Making our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house, of living stones
Built for His own habitation;
He in our hearts as Sov'reign thrones,
Granting us life and salvation;
Were there but two to seek His face,
He would draw near them with His grace,
Blessings upon them bestowing.
4 Now we may gather with our King
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
Bounteous mercy forth-telling;
Jesus His grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all His words,
His truth doth hallow the temple.
5 Grant then, O God, who dwell'st on high,
That when the church bells are ringing
Many to Jesus may draw nigh
Where He His message is bringing:
I know Mine own, Mine own know Me,
Ye, not the world, My face shall see;
My peace I leave with you. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: MIRKEN

Built on the Rock
Author: Carl Doving; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: The Hymnbook #432 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in every land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands,
God, the Most High, is not dwelling,
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet He whom heavens cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for His habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns,
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Now we may gather with our King;
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forth-telling;
Jesus His grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all His words,
His truth doth hollow the temple.
5 Still we our earthly temples rear,
That we may herald His praises;
They are the homes where He draws near
And little children embraces,
Beautiful things in them are said,
God there with us His covenant made,
Making us heirs of His Kingdom.
Amen. Topics: Christ Incarnation; Church, The; Dedication Services Of a Church Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19 Tune Title: BUILT ON THE ROCK
