We'll Build on the Rock

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Refrain

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.

Verse 3

O build on the Rock, for ever sure,

The firm and the true foundation;

Its hope is the hope which shall endure,

The hope of our salvation.

Refrain

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.
