Foundation Stone

Tracy Clinton • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6

Verse 1

Behold, a stone in Zion laid, A tried, a sure foundation stone; Thrice blest are they whose hopes are staid Upon this base, and this alone.

Chorus

Some build their hopes on the ever-drifting sand, Some on their fame, or their treasure, or their land; Mine's on a Rock that forever will stand, Jesus, the "Rock of Ages."

Verse 2

Storms may arise, and tempests blow, And beat with fury on this Rock, Still it remains, though waves o'erflow, Unmoved amid the fiercest shock.

Chorus

Some build their hopes on the ever-drifting sand, Some on their fame, or their treasure, or their land; Mine's on a Rock that forever will stand, Jesus, the "Rock of Ages."

Verse 3

Ne'er shall the gates of hell prevail O'er those who in the Lord abide; Safely they dwell, though foes assail, Forever near the Savior's side.

Chorus

Some build their hopes on the ever-drifting sand, Some on their fame, or their treasure, or their land; Mine's on a Rock that forever will stand, Jesus, the "Rock of Ages."
