1 Founded on Thee, our only Lord, On Thee, the everlasting Rock, The Church shall stand, as stands Thy word, Nor fear the storm, nor dread the shock. 2 For Thee our waiting spirits yearn, For Thee this house of praise we rear; To Thee with longing hearts we turn: Come, fix Thy glorious presence here. 3 Come, with Thy Spirit and Thy power, The Conqueror, once the Crucified; Our God, our Strength, our King, our Tower, Here plant Thy throne, and here abide. 4 Accept the work our hands hath wrought; Accept, O God, this earthly shrine; Be Thou our Rock, our life, our thought, And we, as living temples, Thine. Amen.
