137. Build on the Rock

1 Daily you’re building, but on what foundation?
On the rock or on the ever-shifting sand?
When the storm clouds gather in their fury,
Tell me, will your dwelling then securely stand?

Refrain:
Build on the rock, the solid rock;
What though the tempest rages!
Build on the rock, the solid rock,
Jesus, the Rock of Ages!

2 Daily you’re building, but on what foundation?
Need you fear no tempest standing firm and sure?
Safely resting on the Rock of Ages,
‘Gainst the winds and tempests is your house secure? [Refrain]

3 Daily you’re building, but on what foundation?
On Christ Jesus does your soul serenely rest?
For the life that now is, are you building
Or for endless ages in that life so blest? [Refrain]
