On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage -- grace which, like the Lord the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, and all boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) Hymnal: CH4 #278 (2005) Person Name: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608) Lyrics: 1 'Wake, awake! for night is flying', the watchmen on the heights are crying. 'Awake, Jerusalem, at last!' Midnight hears the welcome voices, and at the thrilling cry rejoices: 'Come forth, you virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes; awake, your lamps with gladness take, Alleluia! and for his marriage feast prepare, for ye must go and meet him there.' 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and all her heart with joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom; for the Lord comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; her Star is risen, her Light is come! Now come, O blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow to the festal hall to sup with you, the Lord of all. 3 All the heavens and earth adore you, and saints and angels sing before you, with harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Zion's gates of pearl before us resound as angels sing in chorus and lead us to your dazzling throne. No mortal eye nor ear can comprehend or bear such great glory; but we rejoice and sing the song, Alleluia! through ages long.
