On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st 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 flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if 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, boasted pomp and empty show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
