Hymn 38

Let us stand on the rock

Verse 1

Firmly stand for God, in the world’s mad strife
Tho’ the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high;
‘Tis the Rock alone giveth strength and life,
When the hosts of sin are high.

Chorus

Let us stand on the Rock,
Firmly stand on the Rock,
On the Rock of Christ alone;
If the strife we endure,
We shall stand secure,
‘Mid the throng who surrounds the
Throne.

Verse 2

Firmly stand for Right, with a motive pure,
With a true heart bold, and a faith e’er strong;
‘Tis the Rock alone giveth triumph sure,
O’er the world’s array of wrong.

Chorus

Let us stand on the Rock,
Firmly stand on the Rock,
On the Rock of Christ alone;
If the strife we endure,
We shall stand secure,
‘Mid the throng who surrounds the
Throne.

Verse 3

Firmly stand for Truth, it will serve you best,
Tho’ it waiteth long, it is sure at last;
‘Tis the Rock alone giveth peace and rest,
When the storms of life are past.

Chorus

Let us stand on the Rock,
Firmly stand on the Rock,
On the Rock of Christ alone;
If the strife we endure,
We shall stand secure,
‘Mid the throng who surrounds the
Throne.
