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]
