Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27 First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand even when steeples are falling; Christ builds his church in ev'ry land; bells still are chiming and calling, calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of those distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Not in a temple made with hands God the Almighty is dwelling; high in the heav'ns his temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet he who dwells in heav'n above chooses to live with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Yet to this place, an earthly frame, we come with thanks to praise his name; God grants his people true blessing. 4 Through all the passing years, O Lord, grant that, when church bells are ringing, many may come to hear God's word where he this promise is bringing: "I know my own, my own know me, you, not the world, my face shall see; my peace I lave with you." Amen. Topics: Nature of the Church; Christ--Cornerstone, our; Church--Foundation and nature; Church--Militant; Life in Christ Used With Tune: KIRKEN
