Behold the sure foundation stone

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #479 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ the church's foundation Lyrics: Behold the sure foundation-stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heav'nly hopes upon, And his eternal praise. Chosen of God, to sinners dear, And saints adore the name; They trust their whole salvation here, Nor shall they suffer shame. The foolish builders, scribe and priest, Reject it with disdain; Yet on this Rock the church shall rest, And envy rage in vain. What though the gates of hell withstood, Yet must this building rise; 'Tis thy own work, almighty God, And wondrous in our eyes. Scripture: Psalm 118:22-23 Languages: English
