Text: | Behold The Sure Foundation Stone |
Author: | Rev. Isaac Watts |
Tune: | MANOAH |
Composer: | Giacchino Rossini |
1 Behold the sure Foundation stone
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heav’nly hopes upon
And His eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
We now adore Thy name;
We trust our whole salvation here,
Nor can we suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
4 What tho' the gates of hell withstood,
Yet must this building rise;
’Tis Thine own work, Almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes.
