1 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.
Refrain:
On the Rock, on the Rock,
It has stood for ages, still it stands secure,
On the Rock, blessed Rock,
We are building on the Rock, Christ Jesus.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 Let us labor 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. [Refrain]
