1210. We'll build on the Rock, the living Rock

1 We'll build on the Rock, the living Rock,
On Jesus, the Rock of Ages;
So shall we abide the fearful shock,
When loud the tempest rages.

Chorus:
We'll build on the Rock,
We'll build on the Rock;
We'll build on the Rock, on the solid Rock,
On Christ, the mighty Rock.

2 Some build on the sinking sands of life,
On visions of earthly treasure;
Some build on the waves of sin and strife,
Of fame, and worldly pleasure. [Chorus]

3 O build on the Rock forever sure,
The firm and the true foundation;
Its hope is the hope which shall endure,
The hope of our salvation. [Chorus]
