The everlasting rock

Hymnal: The Little Seraph #92b (1874) First Line: Thy Church, O God, shall rest secure Refrain First Line: O praise the Rock, the everlasting Rock Lyrics: 1 Thy Church, O God, shall rest secure, Upon the Rock of Ages grounded; In vain the tempter's power may rage, Beyond its utmost reach 'tis founded. Chorus: O praise the Rock, the everlasting Rock, The Rock that is firm, tho' sin in fury rages; Stand on the Rock, secure from ev'ry shock, For the Lord is the Rock of Ages. 2 Upon this wondrous Rock we rest Our souls' eternal, full salvation, Nor fear what mortal men may do, Or Satan's dark and dire temptation. [Chorus] 3 This glorious Rock is Christ, the Lord, The saints' most blessed habitation; Awake, O earth! with glad accord, To know the joys of his salvation. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Thy Church, O God, shall rest secure]
