On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage -- grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, and all boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:4 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

Thou giv'st the power Thy grace to move; O wondrous grace! O boundless love! 4 How can it be, thou heavenly King, That Thou shouldst us to glory bring, Make slaves the partners of Thy throne, Decked with a never-fading crown? 5 Ah, Lord, enlarge our scanty thought To know the wonders thou hast wrought; Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell Thy love immense, unsearchable!
