|  | 1. | On Christ, salvation rests secure; | 
|  |  | The Rock of Ages must endure; | 
|  |  | Nor can that faith be overthrown | 
|  |  | Which rest upon the "Living Stone." | 
|  | 2. | No other hope shall intervene; | 
|  |  | To Him we look, on Him we lean; | 
|  |  | Other foundations we disown, | 
|  |  | And build on Christ, the "Living | 
|  |  | Stone." | 
|  | 3. | In Him it is ordained to raise | 
|  |  | A temple to Jehovah's praise, | 
|  |  | Composed of all His saints, who own | 
|  |  | No Savior but the "Living Stone." | 
|  | 4. | View the vast building, see it rise: | 
|  |  | The work how great! the plan how | 
|  |  | wise! | 
|  |  | O wondrous fabric! pow'r unknown: | 
|  |  | That rests it on the "Living Stone." | 
|  | 5. | But most adore His precious name: | 
|  |  | His glory and His grace proclaim! | 
|  |  | For us, the lost, condemned, undone, | 
|  |  | He gave Himself, the "Living Stone." |
