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