Founded on Thee, our only Lord

Verse 1

Founded on thee, our only Lord, On thee, the everlasting Rock; Thy Church shall stand, as stands thy Word, Nor fear the storm, nor dread the shock.

Verse 2

For thee our waiting spirits yearn, For thee, with hearts of praise we cheer; To thee with longing hearts we turn; Come, fix thy glorious presence here.

Verse 3

Come, with thy Spirit and thy pow'r, The Conq'ror, once the crucified; Our God, our strength, our King, our tow'r, Here plant thy throne, and here abide.

Verse 4

Accept the work our hands have wrought; Accept, O God, this earthly shrine; Be thou, our Rock, our life, our thought, And we, as living temples, thine.
