Lyrics
Verse 1
Built on a rock the church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev’ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, Calling the souls of men distressed, Longing for life everlasting.
Verse 2
Not in our temples made with hands God, the Almighty, is dwelling; High in the heav’ns His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who dwells in heav’n above Deigns to abide with us in love, Making our bodies His temple.
Verse 3
We are God’s house of living stones, Built for His own habitation; He fills our hearts, His humble thrones, Granting us life and salvation; Were two or three to seek His face, He in their midst would show His grace, Blessings upon them bestowing.
Verse 4
Yet in this house, an earthly frame, Jesus the children is blessing; Hither we come to praise His Name, Faith in our Savior confessing; Jesus to us His Spirit sent, Making with us His covenant, Granting His children the kingdom.
