1 On the Rock of Ages
Not on sinking sand;
On the sure foundation,
We may always stand.
When the storm is raging,
Through the tempests’ shock,
We are safe when building
On the solid Rock.

Chorus:
Other ground is sinking sand,
To be safe your feet must stand,
On the Rock, the Rock of Ages,
You are building ev’ry day,
For the long eternity,
Are you building on the solid Rock?

2 On the Rock of Ages
On the righteousness
Of our great Redeemer,
Whom we now confess.
Though an host assail us,
Though our faith they mock,
We are safe when building
On the solid Rock. [Chorus]

3 On the Rock of Ages
In our hearts a song,
Safe while here abiding,
By God’s grace made strong;
Faith in Christ, O brother,
Heaven will unlock,
You are safe when resting,
On the solid Rock. [Chorus]
