On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply your 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 Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in their Redeemer's blood: Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God. For his love his people raises over self to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thank-offering brings. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the worldlings' pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.
